The last time Tigers fans saw Leonard Fournette he was walking off the field dejectedly after the Alabama game. Don’t expect to see the same frown this week.
Redemption is one of the strongest motivators in all of sports.
Arkansas has not struggled against the run this year the way they have against the pass. Far from it. The Razorbacks are giving up only 129 yards rushing per game, good for 27th in the nation.
The Razorbacks are 53rd in the nation in yards per carry at 4.0 though, and this stat plus a motivated LSU line in front of Leonard Fournette does not bode well for them.
Expect the Tigers to beat that 4 yards per carry average handily, and Leonard Fournette to break Arkansas 129 yards per game average by himself.
Oh and by the way……
One Final Prediction, The Final Score: LSU 28, Arkansas 14
