Kirk Herbstreit was a guest Wednesday on the Mike & Mike radio program. One of the questions asked to Herbstreit was his Heisman Trophy favorites heading into the season.

"To me, it's between two running backs - Leonard Fournette from LSU and Zeke Elliott from Ohio State - and I think Zeke Elliott from Ohio State will wind up winning the Heisman Trophy," Herbstreit said.

After accumulating 1161 yards from scrimmage to go along with 10 touchdowns and over 600 return yards, Fournette will look to improve in all phases of his game entering his sophomore season. Fournette entered his freshman campaign with similar hype and failed to live up up to the lofty expectations early on but only got better as the season continued.

Now with his first college offseason behind him, just how good can Fournette be for the Tigers?
