Leonard Fournette Sets LSU Single-Season Rushing Record

While things have seemingly fallen apart at LSU over the past month, running back Leonard Fournette provided some good news on Saturday during the Tigers' game against Texas A&M.

Hitting the 150-yard mark for the first time in three games, Fournette set the LSU single-season rushing record. LSU sent out this tweet when Fournette broke the record:

After 37 years there's a new single-season rushing record holder at LSU! Congrats, @_fournette! #GeauxTigers pic.twitter.com/mqPXBTVaSn

Fournette broke the previous mark of 1,686 yards that Charles Alexander set in 1977.
