When he looked up, Leonard Fournette was long gone. And big William Clapp was so happy. He and senior right tackle Vadal Alexander sealed off the back side as their star running back broke through for a 71-yard run on the first play from scrimmage.
“It was a great feeling,” Clapp said with a big smile. “When you see the running back run by you and he's off to the races, it’s something that makes you feel good. All the hard work paying off.”
Don't think it wasn’t appreciated by Fournette, who left no doubt who the Heisman Trophy favorite is after his 228-yard, three-touchdown afternoon in a 45-21 rout of Auburn.
