LSU running back Leonard Fournette carries the ball as he's chased by UF linebacker Jarrad Davis (40) during the Tigers' 35-28 win against the Gators on Oct. 17, 2015, at Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
And on Saturday, the Gators realized it wasn’t all for naught: The sophomore is a legitimate Heisman Trophy frontrunner and arguably the greatest backfield force to dazzle the collegiate landscape since Adrian Peterson wowed en mass at Oklahoma.
The question ‘how do you overcome Fournette’ was unavoidable in the days preceding Florida’s top-10 matchup with the Tigers, with no affirmative answer given.
