TEXAS BOWL: LSU wins 56-27 over Texas Tech

Williams scored all seven of his first-half points during a 13-3 run that pushed Texas Tech’s lead from 13-7 to 26-10 in the span of about three minutes.

Following record-setting games by California quarterback Jared Goff and the Baylor offense, LSU running back Leonard Fournette set out to set some of his own. Fournette’s 162.8 yards per game lead the nation. Fournette took it in from there for a 28-20 lead with 8:17 to play in the third quarter, and LSU was off.

And of course, Fournette was the steady presence at the center of it all for LSU. He finished his 2015 campaign with a fourth 200+ yard game.

The question thus becomes not whether coach Kliff Kingsbury will get chances to score against LSU, but just how many such chances will come his way. “I wouldn’t call it routine because he is not a routine runner”. “He’s a special back. We would expect him to have nights like this”.

This season, Fournette was a monster and LSU unofficially posted a 10-win season (assuming a victory in cancelled McNeese game). No SEC running back has ever reached the 2K mark. “I was amazed at some of the things I saw our guys do”.

“If LSU played poorly, I think I would be disappointed”, he said.

Mahomes wasn’t too shabby himself. The Red Raiders entered the evening sitting seventh in the latest NCAA RPI rankings. Harris would one-hop a 10-yard out, sail the ball wildly over the head of a receiver on a mid-range route or throw an interception over the middle. He blazed past two Texas Tech defenders after catching a short pass from Harris. In 2012’s Texas Bowl against Minnesota, Jakeem Grant returned a kickoff for a score the first time Texas Tech touched the ball.

Texas Tech finishes up 7-6. He was able to extend plays and helped the Red Raider offense get into gear.

“[Pat] competed hard”, Kingsbury said. “[Mahomes] was out there running for his life”.

Though shaky in spurts, Harris was solid enough as a counterpart. Social media mocked it. Texas Tech, which on some plays committed 11 men to the run, were befuddled. From midfield, Harris connected on another long pass to wide receiver Trey Quinn.

The Red Raiders were very much in the game until midway through the third quarter. “I thought it was a great decision he made to do that”. “I said, ‘No sir, I’m not”. He took a stride certainly. It was exactly what we needed. To little surprise, the Tigers won 19-7, and covered the six-point spread.

A tumultuous tumble with three straight losses quickly put Les Miles’ job on the chopping block, only for a freakish reprieve during the regular-season finale. Outside of a slight three-game dip coinciding with LSU’s three-game losing streak in November, Fournette’s been nothing but spectacular this season. But Texas Tech couldn’t corral him on his next run and he broke free for 43 yards to give him the LSU record for rushing touchdowns in a season with 20 and push the lead to 28-20. “It’s the right turn”.
