Leonard Fournette sets Twitter alight and announces his Heisman Trophy

The jarring impact of LSU running back Leonard Fournette’s shoulder with crumpling Auburn defensive back Blake Countess blew the top off of sold-out Tiger Stadium – and more than likely resonated with Heisman Trophy voters.

Say hello to Leonard Fournette, whose quest barring injury apparently will be not winning the stiff-armed trophy, but whether he will win it by an historic, Secretariat-like gap. “He’s a freak of nature”. “I was about to jump over him”.

Also, if Chubb outduels Fournette in an SEC title game, he would gain favor. Auburn didn’t get on the board until early in the third quarter on a 65-yard Jeremy Johnson touchdown run, and was down 38-7 before Johnson found Melvin Ray for a nine-yard score in the third. Fournette had 169 yards on 15 carries by halftime with a 40-yard touchdown for a 24-0 lead with 2:10 to go in the second quarter.

Fournette finished just 23 yards shy of LSU’s all-time single-game rushing record. Things could get interesting and he could make a run with wild efforts like Fournette’s.

A 29-yard run saw safety Tray Matthews attempt a high tackle on the 6ft 1in, 224-pound Fournette. He approached Fournette on the run, then tried to jump on top of him. What they did was ride those all time greats each game because those players were that special.

“Actually, he jumped over me”. I thought I was going to have to jump over him.

The other players were Peyton Manning and Ed Reed, and both will go into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in their first year of eligibility.

“Our running back group is the most talented in the country, ” offensive tackle Vadal Alexander said.

“It was just insane “, Pocic said.

No. 16 OKLAHOMA 52, TULSA 38: In Norman, Oklahoma, Baker Mayfield threw for 487 yards and four touchdowns and ran for another 85 yards and two scores to power the Sooners. “That was a guy who lacked real resolve to tackle”.

Miles was asked if Fournette brought his game to a new level. “And when he takes three”, Miles mused, but didn’t finish the sentence. With the exception of a thrilling overtime win at Alabama, LSU beat every SEC opponent by double digits during the regular season that year and won seven of its nine SEC games by at least three touchdowns. He’s a positive young man by nature and his performances have a resoundingly positive effect on the psyche of the LSU offensive line.

“He’s a good back”, Auburn cornerback Jonathan Jones said.

Auburn has quite a few concerns surrounding them heading into this game and are looking to prove that last week was a fluke.

I’m guessing Auburn safety Johnathan “Rudy” Ford would like to retract his statement that “it should not be that hard of a challenge” to stop Fournette. “We (are) going to get another chance and get another time to prove ourselves, so we can’t do anything now other than move on to the next team”. “I’m really proud of offensively how they played – very physical wide receivers blocked, tight ends were very strong, fullbacks made their plays, backs made their cuts”.
