SYRACUSE, N.Y. - Leonard Fournette led No. 8 LSU to New York for the first time since 1942 and left with consecutive 200-yard efforts for the first time in school history, as the Tigers overcame Syracuse - and 12 penalties - to a 34-24 win Saturday afternoon at the Carrier Dome.
After a 228-yard effort in less than three quarters of a blowout win over Auburn last weekend, Fournette scored two touchdowns on 26 rushing attempts for 244 yards against the Orange, the third-most yards in a single game in LSU history. The sophomore phenom also had an 87-yard touchdown sprint called back by a procedure penalty.
