Patrick Mahomes threw for 370 yards and four touchdowns for Texas Tech, but was under heavy pressure all night. The team finished with 29 yards on the ground. Obviously, the Tigers will lean heavily on Leonard Fournette and the Red Raiders will not be able to stop him, but if LSU can’t defend, it won’t matter how good Fournette plays.
LSU did a great job against Texas Tech’s potent offense. This was after the Red Raiders had come back from a 21-6 deficit in the second quarter to get within 21-13 at the half and to within 21-20 with 10:28 to go in the third quarter. The Red Raiders looked to be solid competition for the once-mighty LSU Tigers on Tuesday night, playing a close game throughout.
Leonard Fournette has been the strength of the LSU offense all season. The Tigers were methodical, deliberate and simply blew away Texas Tech with power and speed when they had the good sense not to put the ball in the air.
However, Texas Tech’s rushing attack was shut down by LSU’s defense, as the Red Raiders finished with 29 yards rushing. Quarterback Brandon Harris completed 53.1 percent of his passes for 1,904 yards and 12 touchdowns against five interceptions. He was picked off once.

Fournette scored on a screen pass that he took 44 yards into the endzone. Grant caught 10 passes for 125 yards and three touchdowns, and DeAndre Washington closed a stellar career with 11 carries for 37 yards and seven grabs for 81 yards.
“We’d expect him to have nights like this”, Miles said of Fournette, according to the Advocate.
At nearly every position, LSU had a better, stronger and faster athlete than Texas Tech.
