LSU running back Leonard Fournette was inhuman in getting into the endzone for the second time

The LSU Tigers and Mississippi State Bulldogs spent most of the fourth quarter struggling to find an offensive rhythm. Dak Prescott was held to little production for the Bulldogs and the same goes for the LSU Tigers. Star running back Leonard Fournette had even been held to just 18 yards on seven carries and the game’s only touchdown through the first 14 minutes of play. You can only hold Fournette back for so long, though.

With the first quarter winding down, it was first down for the Tigers at the Mississippi State 26-yard line. They handed the ball off to Fournette and then the sophomore running back made absolute magic happen:

Everything about that run from Fournette was impeccable. He showed insane burst getting to the outside and through the hole. He showed the quickness to juke one defender out of his shoes. He then showed the power to bowl over the final defender.

Perhaps the craziest part was his savvy to get his hand down and not let his knee hit as he went into the endzone:

I don’t want to speak too soon, but I think the Tigers might have something pretty special in this Fournette kid.
