Leonard Fournette's 2016 season hasn't gone as planned, but LSU's superstar only needed seven carries on Saturday to remind the nation why he's college football's best running back.
The junior was a single yard shy of setting the school record on those seven attempts, racing for 249 yards and three touchdowns while carrying the 25th-ranked Tigers to a 38-21 victory over the No. 23 Ole Miss Rebels.
Fournette finished the SEC tilt with 284 yards on 16 carries, but it's not simply the total yards that sparked this reaction. After missing three of the last five games because of an ankle injury, Fournette looked like the player who captured the country's attention during his freshman and sophomore seasons.
