LSU has had a field day with Mississippi State on Saturday in an impressive road performance, and freshman running back Kaleb Jackson embodied that as well as anyone.
On a thunderous first-down run, Jackson showed off his powerful style by stiff-arming one Mississippi State player on the run and ending it by absolutely trucking another one with sheer force of will.
It’s the kind of show-stopping play that shows why the Tigers are going to be a problem this year and why defenders might want to be careful about how they play on Jackson when he totes the rock.
This is a heck of a highlight for the freshman.

Former LSU running back Leonard Fournette counted himself among those who were stunned by Jackson’s pummeling run.

While LSU is 1-1 on the season, the team looks like it’s equipped to cause plenty of damage this season. With their loss coming to No. 3 Florida State, don’t count out LSU to make the College Football Playoff this season.
