LSU running back Leonard Fournette has been named the SEC’s Offensive Player of the Week for his 244-yard effort during Saturday’s win at Syracuse, the third consecutive time the sophomore standout has earned the honor.
Fournette has set new career-highs in rushing every game this season and takes on Eastern Michigan next with a chance to take the national rushing lead – despite playing in one fewer game.
