Leonard Fournette: RB Fournette will auction jersey for charity
This season has been a major disappointment so far and now the question becomes will they even qualify for a bowl game.
McElwain does have experience coaching at a night game in Death Valley, albeit not as a head coach. “I would like to auction off my game jersey as is to the highest bidder to help out the relief efforts”, Fournette said.
LSU gets another night game in Tiger Stadium.
LSU running back Leonard Fournette continues to get national recognition as he’s featured on the cover of this week’s Sports Illustrated. The Tigers are atop the SEC and third nationally in rush offense with 346.4 yards a game, and Fournette leads the nation in rushing yards (1,022), rushing yards per game (204.4) and in touchdowns (12). “It’ll be interesting to see if he’s ready to go”, Miles said. Fournette is the 10th player in NCAA history to run for at least 1,000 yards in the first five games of the season, and first LSU player to accomplish that feat. That is the most total offense LSU has had in an SEC game since putting up 630 yards against Ole Miss in 1987.
South Carolina improved to 7-of-9 on fourth down conversions this season when tight end Jerell Adams caught a 36-yard touchdown pass on fourth-and-8 in the third quarter.
Orth finished 14-of-28 for 200 yards, two touchdowns and one interception.
Florida will be going with backup quarterback Treon Harris, a sophomore.
Trey Quinn also appeared to have hauled in a very good pass but it was called back because of a penalty.
“I gotta pretty good idea we’ll show up”. They have forced 13 turnovers and sacked the quarterback 21 times. He was in command in the pocket, throwing the ball early and often and involving his entire group of receivers and backs in the passing game. The opening kickoff went out of bounds, giving South Carolina excellent field position which they capitalized on with a short drive into field goal range. This time it would be Derrius Guice, diving in from four yards out for the final score of a 45-24 game. And the latter of those is what gave Florida fans hope with LSU up next on the schedule.
With the news that quarterback Will Grier has been suspended for the rest of the season due to a violation of the NCAA’s policy for performance-enhancing drugs, the Gators will have to move on and focus their attention on their next opponent – LSU.
Travin Dural broke the century mark and made one of his signature big plays for a touchdown. Kelvin Taylor leads the UF rushing attack with 438 yards and seven touchdowns and Demarcus Robinson is the leading receiver with 34 catches. “Here’s the thing that amazes me when I watch these guys, how fast they play”.
Under Pinkel, the Tigers are 101-33 when they do not lose the turnover battle and 46-4 when they are plus-two in the turnover column.
No. 6 LSU and eighth-ranked Florida both will likely have a Harris behind center when the unbeaten Southeastern Conference teams clash at Tiger Stadium on Saturday.
