STARKVILLE, Miss. (AP) Leonard Fournette ran for 159 yards and three touchdowns to lead No. 14 LSU over No. 25 Mississippi State 21-19 on Saturday night.
Fournette's hard running was the highlight of a bruising Southeastern Conference opener for both teams. The 6-foot-1, 230-pound sophomore had several good moments, including an impressive 26-yard dash to give the Tigers a 14-0 lead in the first quarter.
LSU had a 21-6 lead early in the fourth quarter, but Mississippi State's offense shook off an ugly first half to score two fourth-quarter touchdowns.
