SCORE UPDATES: LSU 0, Texas Tech 0 – 1st QTR

Compare that to the Tigers 384 yards on the ground and it’s no surprise LSU won by 29. LSU quarterback Brandon Harris also found pay dirt on a 26-yard scamper and running back Darrel Williams knocked down the door on a 65-yard drive with a 2-yard score with 4:24 left in the game.

“Young quarterbacks I think might benefit from it”, Cameron said.

Harris also made perhaps the most clutch play of the game.

44 yard TD catch and run by Leonard Fournette!

LSU taking a 7-0 lead courtesy of RB Leonard Fournette on a 2 yard run.

“He’s a great player”, Texas Tech head coach Kliff Kingsbury said. When the opponent is as strong defensively as LSU is, the entire landscape of the game changes to where Tech’s up-tempo offense can’t keep up with the drives its defense keeps losing.

Fournette’s backup, Derrius Guice, looks capable of piling up yards as well.

ORLANDO, FL – Johnny Jefferson ran for 299 yards and three scores and No. 17 Baylor piled up 756 total yards on offense en route to beating No. 10 North Carolina 49-38 in the Russell Athletic Bowl on Tuesday night.

Well, at least Kingsbury still has his good looks. “It took us awhile to adjust”. Texas Tech seemingly pulled even when Patrick Mahomes hit Jakeem Grant on a attractive 46-yard lob on 3rd-and-10, but the Red Raiders’ ensuing two-point try failed. Fournette rushed for a score and caught a 44-yard touchdown on a screen pass in the first half.

James Butler scored on a 4-yard run with 1:06 left and Nevada benefited from a late gaffe by Colorado State to beat the Rams 28-23 in the inaugural Arizona Bowl Tuesday night. Grant finished with 125 receiving yards on 10 catches.

The Tigers opened the game by opening up their offense.

While the Bears and Tar Heels set a game record for combined points, the Tigers and Red Raiders set a new Texas Bowl mark with 28 combined points in the third quarter.

The next play from scrimmage, WR DJ Chark, on the first touch of his career, takes a 79 yard run to the house to make it 14-6.

Heisman voters obviously forgot just how special of a running back Leonard Fournette is when they didn’t invite him to NY.

Cain, who has been the Tigers’ biggest deep threat this season, kicker Ammon Lakip and tight end Jay Jay McCullough will not play Thursday in the Orange Bowl against Oklahoma. After Fournette’s touchdown, the Red Raiders marched 90 yards in nine plays, capped by a three-yard toss from Mahomes to Grant. Mahomes threw incomplete on a two-point conversion attempt.

At this point, Miles is used to seeing his All-America running back take over games. Then he hurdled his own blocker and sprinted to the end zone.

LSU showed the Red Raiders they still have a ways to go.

Patrick Mahomes was rushed an terrible lot, finishing with negative rushing yards, but he passed for 375 yards and four touchdowns.

But Texas Tech’s defensive plan cost them in the first quarter when it was lulled into paying attention to Fournette and LSU sophomore quarterback Brandon Harris rather than a sweeping D.J. Chalk.
