BATON ROUGE, La. -- Leonard Fournette has maintained all along that he is not concerned about the Heisman Trophy race, and LSU’s star running back reiterated those thoughts this week now that he’s no longer the overwhelming favorite to win college football’s most coveted award.
“The Heisman doesn’t [matter],” Fournette said Monday. “I don’t worry about it.”
Plenty of LSU fans are worried about it, though, particularly after Alabama’s Derrick Henry pounded the Tigers for 210 rushing yards and three touchdowns and, depending on who you ask, possibly wrestled the Heisman lead away from Fournette.
