The crowd will erupt. But we need to keep our cool. Whatever you do don't fumble the football on the ensuing kick-off. Forget about the previous play you lost. Get ready to play and win the next play. Don't let Fournette take over the game.
To look on the bright side --- if Fournette makes a long run that means the LSU offense does not stay on the field and waterboard us to death drip by drip. It means the LSU defense has to be on the field longer.
The key is to stop Fournette enough times. I just don't think even a defense as good as ours is going to completely shut Fournette down, but if he does make a long touchdown run don't go into a complete funk. Don't get rattled. Be prepared.
"Stopping" was probably the wrong word. Yes, he'll get some yards. Or a ton of yards... If we can penetrate the LOS before he gets a head of steam, well, Loyd Christmas was already quoted here... Their OL will be tough to beat. It's gonna be a physical game.
