Just when you thought Leonard Fournette was done, he's baaaack! Fournette chewed up the Ole Miss defense and spit them out as he ran for a school record 284 yards on only 16 carries, as he rumbled his way to 3 touchdowns. Most impressive part of his performance was it only took 8 breath taking runs to get there. His touchdown runs of 59, 76 and 78 yards were key to him breaking his own school record.
Fournette had 3 touchdown runs that helped him shatter the school record for most yards in a single game.

Leonard Fournette was a preseason Heisman candidate but a nagging ankle injury kept the LSU RB on the sidelines for a month. Fournette will likely be a top 10 pick in next years NFL draft and some wondered if his days in Baton Rouge had come to an end, so he answered with a school record 5th 200-yard game as the Tigers rolled the rebels 38-21.
Fournette will face the physical Alabama defense in Death Valley as he aims to take down the team who ended his Heisman campaign last season.
