Louisville Football: Why Fournette Missing Citrus Bowl Isn’t A Big Deal

There is a report that Leonard Fournette will be missing the Citrus Bowl against the Louisville football team in order to be healthy enough for the 2017 NFL Draft. While it is a little bit of a relief because that guy is a top ten NFL talent, it doesn’t mean that beating the Tigers and shutting down their rushing attack will be any easier.

Sophomore running back Derrius Guice has been starting in Fournette’s place because on an injury that kept the future NFL draft pick sidelined for most of this season. Guice took the opportunity and became one of the best running backs in all of the Southeastern Conference.
