Leonard Fournette saw the bulletin board material and is ready to make Auburn pay.
Auburn defender Rudy Ford said it “shouldn’t be difficult” to stop LSU super sophomore Leonard Fournette on Saturday, but he may want to reconsider that if he doesn’t already regret those words.

On the first play of the game between LSU and Auburn, Fournette took the handoff from Brandon Harris and ran up the middle of the Auburn defense for a 71-yard gain that looked pretty difficult for Auburn to slow him down.
Miraculously they kept him out of the end zone, somehow.

Auburn’s defense would stop Fournette on the next two plays on the goal line but Harris was able to scamper in for the touchdown to give LSU a 7-0 lead on an option play to the left side where Cassanova McKinzy whiffed on a big hit on the LSU quarterback to give up the score.
This should be one of the best games of the college football weekend, and you can watch the game between the two SEC West foes on CBS.
