Leonard Fournette had himself a day against Auburn.


Where to begin with Leonard Fournette’s day against Auburn. Might as well just kick it from the beginning.

Here’s Buga Nation’s first run from scrimmage: a 71-yard scamper that would lead to a score.

Here’s a grown-man touchdown where he flattens one poor soul en route to the end zone.

Here’s a nice rush where Fournette basically carries the entire Auburn defense on his shoulders without going to the turf.

And here’s a bruising touchdown run in which Fournette goes up, under, around and through the Tigers.

There was no better tweet on the day than this one from Reddit CFB.

Prior to Saturday’s game against Auburn, Fournette’s career high in rushing was 159 yards – it came last week against Mississippi State. Through two and a half quarters, Buga Nation has 228 yards on 19 carries. You know it’s a good day when a 71-yard run is the most boring of your highlights.

Also, in the name of stream of consciousness, Fournette scored this touchdown while this post was being written. Just a humble Superman leap. No big deal.
