5. Leonard Fournette rushes for 4 touchdowns against Wisconsin

The LSU Tigers will show up at Lambeau Field this weekend ready to take the next step to greatness. With hopes of a SEC championship berth and possibly a playoff berth, the Tigers will have to come out of the gate running if they hope to prove themselves worthy of their pre-season accolades. LSU’s dreams will hinge on the type of season they get from Leonard Fournette. As long as Fournette can stay healthy, the Tigers believe they will be in the hunt later in the year.

Of course, this year marks Fournette’s third year playing college football, which many believe will be his best yet. Regardless of where LSU will be in a few months, Fournette is a force to be reckoned with, especially once he hits his stride midseason. The Badgers hope to contain Fournette and force LSU’s passing game to prove they can play. Otherwise, the Badgers will be able to key in on the running game for the duration of the match-up.

This game will most certainly come down to Fournette vs. the Badgers’ defense. With that said, Fournette is going to be too much for the Badgers. His experience, combined with his powerful running style and his ability to break tackles, will allow him to get off to a good start early.

By the time the game is over, one of my bold predictions is that Fournette will have reached the end zone at least 4 times on the ground. Even though the Badgers show up to play, the potential Heisman winner is going to be too much for their defense.
