BATON ROUGE, La. -- LSU finally snapped its three-game losing streak and Les Miles saved his job in the regular-season finale against Texas A&M. Now that things have settled down a bit, No. 20 LSU (8-3) can focus on high-scoring Texas Tech (7-5) in what should be a fascinating clash of styles.
LSU will have its difficulties slowing down the Red Raiders’ passing attack, while Tigers running back Leonard Fournette will attempt to join Alabama’s Derrick Henry as players who eclipsed Herschel Walker’s SEC single-season rushing record this year. Fournette needs 150 yards to get to Walker’s previous record and 259 to crack the 2,000-yard mark this season.
