GAME PREVIEW: LSU provided the punch Fournette had in previous weeks, racking up 220 all‑purpose yards and two fourth‑ quarter scores to lead LSU over the Wildcats. McGee's 14.1 yards per rush were only outdone by his 14.7 yards per reception. The Tigers limited Kentucky to 217 total yards. Oct. 25: No. 24 LSU 10, No. 3 Ole Miss 7 LSU senior safety Ronald Martin intercepted Ole Miss quarterback Bo Wallace with a scant two seconds remaining after the Rebels took one last shot at the end zone rather than attempt a 47‑yard field goal. Fournette, Magee and senior running back Kenny Hilliard combined to take 47 carries for 250 yards, though none found the end zone. The winning score came late in the fourth quarter when Jennings hit senior tight end Logan Stokes from three yards out to overcome a 7‑3 deficit. Nov. 8: No. 5 Alabama 20, No. 16 LSU 13 (OT) Jennings failed to complete a pass in four overtime attempts after Alabama quarterback Blake Sims threw a six‑yard pass on the Tide's extra‑time possession. Sims directed an Alabama drive at the close of regulation, covering 55 yards in 50 seconds to knot the contest at 13. Jennings' overtime difficulties reflected his entire game, because he finished with only 76 yards on 8‑of‑26 passing. Nov. 15: Arkansas 17, No. 17 LSU 0 For the first time in 17 tries, Arkansas topped a conference foe, and did so in impressive fashion. The Razorbacks held LSU to 123 total yards, including only 36 on the ground. Jennings' troubles continued against Arkansas. He threw for only 87 yards on 12‑of‑22 passing. Nov. 27: LSU 23, Texas A&M 17 Fournette led the way in righting LSU's ship coming off two consecutive losses, running for 146 yards and a score on only 19 carries to average 7.7 yards per rush. His dominance allowed LSU to keep a potent A&M offense off the field, possessing the ball for 41:13. — Douglas Farmer ✦ TEAM STATISTICS Score By Quarters 1st 2nd 3rd 4th OT Total Avg.
