BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — Leonard Fournette won't answer a question about any of his game-breaking runs without showering praise upon his blockers, which means No.7 LSU might have the most compliment-drenched linemen and fullback in college football right now.
The Tigers in the trenches appreciate the credit they get from a player who is arguably LSU's best candidate for a Heisman Trophy since Billy Cannon won it in 1959. And while they try to block well regardless of who carries the ball, they acknowledge that clearing a path for Fournette can be especially rewarding for more reasons than the way he talks about them when the microphones are on.
