HOUSTON (AP) — No. 22 LSU has one of the best running backs in the country and Texas Tech's run defense is among the nation's worst.
Expect to see a heavy dose of Leonard Fournette when the Tigers (8-3) and Red Raiders meet in the Texas Bowl on Tuesday night.
Fournette, the All-America running back, is third in the nation with a school-record 1,741 yards rushing this season. He's the leader of a ground attack that is averaging 245.9 yards a game.
"He's a phenomenal athlete, one of those once-in-a-generation-type backs," Texas Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury said.
