TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Geno Matias-Smith, Marlon Humphrey and Dillon Lee.
It reads somewhere between an international law firm and a gang of Old West outlaws but perhaps best explains how the University of Alabama football team stonewalled Leonard Fournette on Saturday night.
Coming in, the LSU running back was thought to be a sure thing for the Heisman Trophy, averaging 193.1 rushing yards per game while the Tigers’ 309.1 team average topped the Southeastern Conference by almost 100 yards.
Of course that was before playing Alabama, which dominated at Bryant-Denny Stadium 30-16. Matias-Smith, a senior free safety, dropped Fournette on his initial carry after just two yards, Humphrey nailed him after a one-yard gain on his first attempt of the second quarter and Lee stopped him in the backfield to set the tone of the second half.
