Leonard Fournette bowled over Howard Matthews for a TD (GIF)

LSU freshman running back Leonard Fournette hit the truckstick button on his controller en route to a touchdown Thursday night against Texas A&M.

Fournette burst through the line and absolutely bowled over A&M defensive back Howard Matthews on a 22-yard touchdown run in the second quarter.

It's a hit that makes you feel sorry for Matthews.

The touchdown tied the game at 7-7 in the second quarter. It was Fournette's team-leading eighth touchdown of the season.

Earlier in the game, LSU fumbled on third down and was forced to punt after recovering the fumble and failing to get a first down. However, an official blew a whistle just after center Ethan Pocic recovered the ball. Because of Rule 4.1.2.b.1, LSU had the option to replay the down because of the inadvertent whistle. However, the Tigers didn't score on the drive and were forced to eventually punt.
