Offensive player of the month: Leonard Fournette, LSU:

We’re running out of ways to describe Fournette’s September, but it’s safe to say he has taken the sport by storm, rushing for an FBS-leading 210.3 yards per game and scoring eight touchdowns in three games. The toughest contests on LSU’s schedule are still ahead. It will be beyond impressive to see Fournette post these kinds of numbers against Alabama or Ole Miss. But for now, he’s on pace to have one of the best rushing seasons in SEC history. -- David Ching
