Leonard Fournette, RB, LSU
If you haven’t watched an LSU game yet but are planning to do it this weekend because of Leonard Fournette, then you’re in for a treat. The rest of us who have witnessed his impressive play are just waiting to see what he’ll do next.
Since the Tigers missed Week 1 due to a violent lighting storm, Fournette has played in three games this year instead of four, but he’s still only 44 yards away from Indiana’s Jordan Howard for the national lead in rushing yards.
With 631 yards and eight touchdowns already, he’s on pace to finish the 2015 college football season with 2,314 yards and 29 touchdowns. Most football analysts see him as the front-runner to win this year’s Heisman Trophy, and he’s been endorsed by fellow LSU alumni Shaquille O’Neal.
The Tigers are hosting Eastern Michigan on Saturday on ESPNU. Fournette should go crazy against the Eagles, who feature the nation’s worst run defense.
