Why Brandon Harris, Not Leonard Fournette, Must Star vs. South Carolina

All LSU running back Leonard Fournette has done over the first four games of the season is lead the nation with 864 rushing yards and 11 touchdowns, become the first SEC running back ever to post three straight 200-yard rushing games and vault himself to the top of virtually every early Heisman ranking.

Not bad, if you like 6'1", 230-pound monsters who have Adrian Peterson's power and Barry Sanders' quickness.

Is LSU a contender in the SEC West, though?

The answer is "no." At least, not until quarterback Brandon Harris can prove that he can stretch the field—or at least provide a reasonable threat that he can stretch the field.
