Earlier today, the LSU Football Video department released an absolutely incredible video tribute to Leonard Fournette’s record-breaking outing against the Ole Miss Rebels. Check it out:

Saturday against the Rebels, Fournette rushed for a school record 284 yards. The star running back had been dealing with a nagging ankle injury that he re-aggrivated against the Auburn Tigers, so there were questions coming into the game against Ole Miss as to whether or not Fournette would be on a very limited pitch count.

To make his 284-yard breakout all the more impressive, he ran for that record-breaking total on just 16 carries and managed to get into the end zone on three different occasions. Fournette’s touchdown runs were 59, 76 and 78 yards. He dominated on the ground all night long, and showcased his bruising strength and running style while also putting his remarkable speed on display.

The LSU Tigers will take on Nick Saban and the Alabama Crimson Tide next Saturday after an open date this weekend. The off week will give Fournette a chance to get back into even better shape, and can’t imagine how explosive he will be once he is actually in game shape.

If Ed Orgeron and the Tigers are going to pull off an upset against the top-ranked team in all of college football, they’ll need a big outing from their start tailback. If Leonard Fournette does anything close to what he did against Ole Miss, the Tide are in big trouble.
