Our selections seem about right. Interesting that they placed LSU's Guice as first team RB, and Fournette as second team RB.

No OL or DL representation says a lot.

Guice will have to get hurt next year for him to not win the Heisman. Fournette is more legend than substance.

McGuire should have been 2nd team.

McGuire was second team. I agree with each selection of UL All-Louisiana members.

I think Guice is a beast. But I also think Fournette is everything he was made out to be. The problem was LSU's offense. Fournette will be plenty of substance in the NFL.

Congrats to Joe Dillon and the rest of the Cajuns!
"Dillon, named to the second team as a defensive lineman, was joined by first-team selections Otha Peters and Steven Coutts, along with second-team selections Elijah McGuire and Stevie Artigue."

Don't get me wrong, Fournette is a tremendous RB. Guice is a clone of Marshawn Lynch.

But our leading tackler doesn't make either team?
