Florida coach Jim McElwain is going to be asking his defensive players to do something Saturday night in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, that he admits he could never do.
“I know I couldn’t tackle him,” McElwain said Wednesday.
Him, of course, is Leonard Fournette, the sensational 230-pound sophomore tailback who has been running through SEC defenses like they’re not even there.
Fournette has already put up an All-American type season, and it’s still just the middle of October. In only five games, he’s rushed for 1,002 yards, has scored 12 touchdowns and is averaging a ridiculous 8.
