ARLINGTON, Texas -- Nick Brossette could only be patient.
With the likes of Leonard Fournette, Derrius Guice and Darrel Williams ahead of him on the LSU depth chart over the last three seasons, Brossette's turn as a featured back for a school that produces so many of them could only come with time.
That time came Sunday (Sept. 2), finally, when the senior running back had the breakout showing he believed would eventually come, even if the wait was a bit longer than he would have liked.
So just imagine how the Baton Rouge native felt when he took a handoff from Joe Burrow and cut through the opening produced by the offensive line and saw nothing by green turf and a purple-and-gold painted L-S-U in the end zone at AT&T Stadium.
