Note to the rest of the SEC: When your team is playing LSU, DO NOT talk trash about the running ability of Leonard Fournette. He showed the entire nation why nobody should ever do that against the Auburn Tigers on Saturday.
Earlier this week, Auburn defensive back Jonathan Ford called out Fournette saying that there was too much hype around him. According to ESPN’s Joe Schad, Ford’s comments either inspired Fournette or absolutely pissed him off.
Leonard Fournette told me he was fueled by a comment made before the game by an Auburn defensive player

If you don’t believe that Fournette was “fueled”, just take a look at what he did in Saturday’s game.

Fournette finished with a career-high 228 yards and three touchdowns. The Tigers play the Syracuse Orange next Saturday. I’m sure they know just to keep quiet until after the game.
