BATON ROUGE, La. -- Even without Leonard Fournette, LSU’s offense has been on a tear of late.
Since Steve Ensminger took over the play-calling duties from Cam Cameron on Sept. 25, the Tigers are averaging 546.5 yards per game despite Fournette spending the month watching from the sideline with an ankle injury.
Now that one of the nation’s top running backs is expected to be back for Saturday’s showdown with Ole Miss (9 p.m. ET, ESPN), what does his return mean to an LSU offense that has exploded in his absence?
“We’re just going to be even more powerful,” said tight end DeSean Smith.
