And You Care Because … Leonard Fournette ran wild, taking off for four touchdown runs from two, 43, four and two yards away and took a pass 44 yards for a score as LSU ran all over Texas Tech. D.J. Chark added a 79-yard scoring dash for the Tigers, and Brandon Harris ran for a touchdown, but the Red Raiders made it close early with Jakeem Grant catching touchdown passes from 46, three and four yards away. LSU was up 21-20 after Texas Tech’s Reginal Davis caught a touchdown pass from 31 yards out in the third, but then it was all LSU running game with two of Fournette’s scoring runs and the Harris 26-yard touchdown to put it away.

Game Rating: C+. Texas Tech made it entertaining, but there was no chance the red Raider D was going to slow down Leonard Fournette and the running game. Patrick Mahomes and the Texas Tech passing game did what they were supposed to do with 370 yards, and the LSU running game did what it was supposed to do with 384 yards and seven scores. The Tigers ended their drama and kept Les Miles from having to deal with a tough offseason.
