Leonard Fournette was not supposed to play today because of an ankle injury. But then before the game, this happened:

Just your classic pregame scuffle before a big time SEC matchup, right? Well, that got your boy Leonard Fournette fired the F up because now he’s suited up and playing. So what happened? Turns out somebody messed with the wrong running back and shoved him, so he laced up the cleats and is going to run the ball right down Florida’s throats.
And this isn’t a made up story. The sole reason he is playing today is because he got pissed during this pregame fight.
SEC Nation just reported Fournette was not expected to play – but after being shoved during scuffle, he asked O if he could suit up. #LSU
