Fournette: "Syracuse started Running Back U. It's a great tradition here, who wouldn't want to come

[Ozcuse]

Wishing he wins heisman. Good luck mr. Fournette.

God bless Syracuse and LSU.

Great kid ... its a shame we didn't recruit him. Forty-Fournette ... how perfect would that be? Does he got any younger brothers? LOL

Yes, Lanard. But he's on LSU's roster as well
He has sisters though

 

[OkieTiger]

The young man has talent, confidence, humility, and a good heart. He will go far in life and not just because of football.

What many outside lsu dont know is his being called Buga, or buga nation. It is more than a name, it is an attitude and way of life. It stands for "being united generates attitude". He may be a star but he is an incredible team player.

From his lips to god's ears. Let's put this on a postcard and send to some recruits after he wins the heisman!

Amen

 

[HeaterCuse22]

I'm a Fournette homer.

Me too. Lol

 

[ImperialOrange]

I mean... if he he wanted to transfer to SU we could probably find a spot for him on the roster

What a class act. Love this kid it was so fun watching him play. I remember years ago. We had Tony D stopped until just before the half and boom 70 something yards and a TD. Only this guy is about 75 pounds bigger than Tony and faster. Off the chart great RB great kid

 

[Briancuse]

I have a Man crush on this dude!

I had one before today, lol now I might be in love, jk, but what a special talent.

 

[OrangeFoo]

I pray that Les Miles takes care of this kid. He also needs to go down easier. That play at the end if the 3rd where he was gang tackled should never have happened... he was toast and should have given himself up.

 

[Cuseregular]

He posted a picture last night I think on Instagram from the Dome and the 44 jersey in the rafters thanking Ernie Davis, little and Jim Brown for making it all possible for people like him. Absolute class act as is their coach ending the Game the way way he did. The future is bright gentlemen and ladies

 

[Millhouse]

Someone watched The Express a bunch of times, I bet

Why did the certified Sportscenter handle just have to tweet this ?

@SportsCenter: Syracuse head coach Scott Shafer felt strongly about Leonard Fournette in this weekend's @Voya #BenchTalk. http://t.co/hK8AwBsg6j


Just reading the comments you can tell it was taken out of context. Just makes Syracuse look bad.

What was the context? That's a really strange quote lol.

 

[jekelish]

What was the context? That's a really strange quote lol.

The context was basically saying he wanted to shut down Fournette. Shafer is a DC at heart, of COURSE he wanted to shut down the best. It's getting so blown out of proportion it's absurd.

They even brought it up on Mike and Mike, with Greeny asking Golic if he had a problem with it, and Golic, as you'd probably expect from a defensive player, saying he had absolutely zero issue with it.
