Every team in the SEC knows who Leonard Fournette is and what he is coming to do on Saturdays.
Tigers fans know enough about Tackles Jerald Hawkins and Vadal Alexander to expect consistent excellence from them.
Josh Boutte is the wild card in the run game. Boutte has always had the talent to make it to the next level, but never put it all together.
After spending a year working himself into real LSU football shape, by which I mean ready for the NFL draft shape Boutte has been one of the most talked about players in camp.
A guard with the power to dominate defensive linemen and the athleticism to get out in space and make second level blocks can open up a lot of space for his running back to work with.
When that back is named Fournette it can open up opportunities for the kind of big yardage totals and signature runs that make Heisman voters take notice.
