Fournette scores five total touchdowns in win

Malachi Dupre had a team-high 96 receiving yards on four catches, while John Diarse added four catches and 45 yards.

LSU wide receiver D. J. Chark ran 79 yards for a TD.

The Red Raiders have had trouble slowing down a lot of running backs this season and rank 125th in the country in allowing 271.8 yards rushing a game.

Texas Tech’s best play all game was for Patrick Mahomes to frantically scramble away from a four-man rush, evade someone’s grasp, then throw across his body to a receiver running a crossing route to the other side of the field.

Linebackers Deion Jones and Kendell Beckwith each had eight tackles for LSU, while combining for 3.5 sacks and six tackles for loss. The Tigers should be focused and prepared to handle Texas Tech. Fournette scored on a screen pass that he took 44 yards into the endzone. Harris completed 8 of 11 passes for 103 yards with a touchdown in the first half, and Miles credited Cameron’s new presence on the sideline for the improvement in Harris and the improvement in the offense.

This mismatch provides Fournette with a record-breaking opportunity.

LSU is now 49-3 under Miles against non-conference opponents, and the SEC is 2-0 in its inaugural Texas Bowl appearances. QB Patrick Mahomes and the Red Raiders are coming off a win over the Texas Longhorns by a 48-45 final score.

Texas Tech closed the gap when Grant grabbed a 46-yard touchdown pass, but the 2-point conversion failed and the score was 7-6.

The next seven possessions saw Texas Tech grab a handful of momentum and severely outplay LSU, much to the delight of the red and black Houston crowd.

But LSU should be in good shape in Houston against a Red Raiders squad that has plenty of holes.

LSU pushed its advantage to 21-6 with 6:41 left in the half.

The Tigers took the margin into the lockerroom.

With tortillas flying and cannons booming, the teams combined for over 1,000 yards of total offense.

North Carolina (11-3) tried to match Baylor’s scoring output but had a key fumble in the third quarter that stifled its comeback efforts. He finished with 1,741 rushing yards on the year for 18 touchdowns and 1,950 total yards of offense.

Fournette was stopped for no gain on one carry on LSU’s next drive and managed just 2 yards on the next one. LSU quarterback Brandon Harris scored a 26-yard rushing touchdown on a zone read option, giving LSU a 42-20 lead with nine seconds remaining in the third quarter. “Instead of being 28-23 or 28-27, it was 35-20”.

On consecutive drives for LSU, Fournette rushed for touchdowns from 43 yards and 4 yards out.

30 Of Texas Tech’s offensive plays have resulted in a gain of 40 or more yards, the most in the nation entering the bowl season.

LSU held their first practice of bowl week followed by the annual “Rodeo Bowl” competition, as activities for the AdvoCare Texas Bowl got off to a quick start Saturday. We are also a game shy, we didn’t get to play (because) of lightning in a game.
