Another year, another LSU running back has full attention of Auburn's defense

The days of Leonard Fournette and Derrius Guice are over, yet LSU appears to yet again have a quality running back producing big numbers out of the backfield.

LSU senior Nick Brossette is one of the nation's leading rushers through two weeks, averaging 131 yards per game with a pair of touchdowns while averaging 6.39 yards per carry. When No. 12 LSU (2-0) travels to Jordan-Hare Stadium on Saturday to take on No. 7 Auburn (2-0), Brossette will have the full attention of Auburn's defense.

"They always have a really good running back," Auburn coach Gus Malzahn said.
