It’s been an eventful Super Bowl for former LSU football players. Former LSU Tigers running back Leonard Fournette made his impact on the game in the third quarter with a touchdown run that gave the Tampa Bay Buccaneers a commanding lead.
Fournette’s 27-yard touchdown run midway through the third quarter extended Tampa Bay’s lead to 28-9.

Fournette has had a better showing in the Super Bowl so far compared to another former Tiger, Tyrann Mathieu. Mathieu got a little frustrated and let it show late in the first half in a heated exchange with Bucs quarterback Tom Brady.
