Leonard Fournette Ties LSU Record with 9th Straight 100-Yard Game

Leonard Fournette continues to strengthen his case for the Heisman Trophy.

The LSU Tigers star running back eclipsed 100 yards for the ninth straight game Saturday against the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers, tying the school record that Charles Alexander set in 1978, per ESPN Stats & Info.

Fournette came into Saturday's tilt against the Hilltoppers with 1,202 yards and 14 rushing touchdowns in only six games. If the No. 5 Tigers hadn't canceled their game against the McNeese State Cowboys in September because of lightning, there's no telling where Fournette's numbers would have been at this point.
