SCORE UPDATES: LSU 0, Texas Tech 0 – 1st QTR
Fournette ended the game with five touchdowns and 212 yards on 29 carries, taking advantage of one of the worst run defenses in the country.

Les Miles followed last month’s job-security drama with some ole Mad Hatter surprises in the Texas Bowl. The senior leads the Big 12 and is 12th in the nation with 1,455 yards rushing and his 14 rushing touchdowns lead the Red Raiders.
Tigers’ Fournette ran for a 2-yard TD.
“The key is to being balanced certainly”, Miles said in a pregame press conference. As hard as it will be for Texas Tech’s defense to stop the LSU ground game, Tech will have no chance to win if LSU is able to make big plays in the kicking game.
The rushing touchdown was Fournette’s 20th of the season and set the school record for touchdowns in a season, breaking the record of 19 by LaBrandon Toefield in 2001.
The LSU Tigers rode the legs of running back Leonard Fournette to a blowout win over Texas Tech in the Texas Bowl.
The result: LSU 56, Texas Tech 27.
“That was a big turning point”, Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury said.
Fournette sailed into the end zone Superman style on a 2-yard run with about 8 minutes left. He established a quick pace during the Tigers’ opening possession as he ran four times for 40 yards and a touchdown.
“The foul trouble early was really hard for us to overcome”, Richmond coach Chris Mooney said. We take care of all facets of web design – visual design, layout design and content development. 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.
And for as much criticism as Brandon Harris will inevitably get, he was everything LSU wants him to be.
Mahomes finished the game with 370 yards on 56 passing attempts and had four touchdowns among his 28 completions.
The Tigers’ hot offense answered.
The Red Raiders (7-5), who bounced back from a 4-8 season in 2014, are 30th nationally in rushing offense, averaging 204.8 yards per game. The first two times these men met came when Kingsbury was quarterback at Texas Tech and Miles coached Oklahoma State in 2001 and 2002. Darrell Williams closed out the scoring with a 2-yard touchdown run.
397.3 Yards of total offense per game have been averaged by Texas Tech QB Patrick Mahomes II in 2015, the highest average in the nation entering the bowl season.
LSU led 7-0 with 11:47 to play in the opening quarter.
On defense, football betting podcast the better yards per rush numbers are owned by LSU by 1.9.
The Tigers overcame an offensive pass interference penalty and first-and-21 with a 39-yard pass from Harris to Dupre. Miles said the Tigers didn’t show any signs of being rusty. It likely won’t be pretty – a trademark of the Miles era – but I expect the Tigers to grind out a win by keeping the chains moving and by generating a couple of turnovers. “That’s what we needed him to do to have victory today”. “Brandon seeing Cam and getting instruction just made a tremendous difference”.

“My first day on campus, I was walking across campus and I had never been in humidity like that, and sweat is actually running down my face and is dripping off my nose”, Perry said, “and these flies kept bothering me and I thought, ‘What in the world was this?’ and finally one landed on me and it was a mosquito”.
