He's pretty good at football.

If I was a Heisman voter, after his act in his first game, he'd never get a sniff of it.
Actually, if I was a voter, I'd still be going with Prescott at the moment.

What's with your man crush on Dak Prescott? Not sure he's even the best QB in his own state.

No idea why. Just like thew cut of his lib.
In my defense, all my CFB watching buddies seem to fawn over him.
Then again, at this point, we need a distraction, since we all homer for the same team.

I mean, he's fine, but best player in cfb? Nah. He seems to be a good fit for Miss State's low risk dink and dunk system and he hasn't thrown any picks yet which is impressive. His counterpart at Ole Miss has better numbers pretty much across the board and the Ole Miss coaches trust him to throw the ball down the field.

And what an incoming RB class 2014 was -- gave us Fournette, Royce Freeman, and Nick Chubb. All of whom are quite awesome. I'm sure I'm missing some other RBs, but those 3 are all going to be Sunday Warriors (which means I just jinxed all 3 of them).

Fournette ran for 200 yards on Syracuse. Isn't that what any power school should do?

Syracuse played who before LSU? Let me know where the Orange stand after playing FSU, UVA, Louisville and Pitt. The kid is good, just not QUITE as good a Cuse made him look.

Plus LSU doesn't have much in the way of a passing game so teams are loading the box to stop Fournette. They know exactly what's coming and still can't stop it. Honestly I thought the kid was overrated his freshman year but he is finally living up to the hype.

I'll sum it up with: He's the Second Coming of AD.
As I mentioned, there's some really good sophmore RBs. Some NFL teams are going to score some gems in the 2017 draft.

There's a true sophomore in Palo Alto who went for 206 yards against the Beaves, and is third in the nation in all-purpose yards right now.
We'll see how he holds up, but he averaged 28 carries and 160 yards vs. USC and OSU.

This. I was at his game at the beginning of last year where he struck the Heisman pose and all I could think of is this guy is a turd who will get his when he plays real teams.
Well, fast forward to this year, he's matured and prepares like it and it shows. Auburn wanted no fucking part of trying to tackle him. It's not up to him if his opponents are worth a shit or not, just do what you're supposed to do.
He'll get a chance to win over everyone against Bama's front 7, just like Chubb at Georgia.
