MADISON, Wis. -- The highlight reel grows with each passing game, as an exceptional athlete reaches heights few in college football are capable of attaining. LSU running back Leonard Fournette can outrun entire defenses to the end zone, barrel over defensive backs like a Mack truck squashing a mosquito and leave would-be tacklers feeling like stone pillars as he cuts by with precision and power.
He cannot, as far as we know, leap tall buildings in a single bound. Then again, we haven't seen his junior season unfold yet.
Hyperbole abounds for Fournette ahead of one of the most highly anticipated campaigns in recent memory.
