Rudy Ford made a big, big mistake this week.
The Auburn DB called out Leonard Fournette before Saturday’s LSU-Auburn game by saying that stopping the running back “shouldn’t be that difficult.”

Fournette heard about the remark and proceeded to punish Auburn to the tune of 228 yards and three touchdowns in a 45-21 win. Afterwards he said he was fueled by the slight from Ford:

And then he tweeted a photo showing him destroying an Auburn defender:

And the best moment from the game? Watching Ford back down at a chance to tackle Fournette with a “business decision.”
Here are all his other highlights from the game. You’ll love em.
