Auburn defensive back Rudy Ford believes stopping LSU running back, and Heisman Trophy candidate, Leonard Fournette won't be much of a challenge.

"That shouldn't be difficult." Ford said Tuesday.

Ford spoke confidently about his defenses abilities ahead of Saturday's big SEC matchup.

"We got a great front seven, and even on the back end we're all going to be ready to tackle," Ford said. "Our biggest thing is our energy level. As soon as we get off that bus we're ready to attack. Don't take anything lightly. We all gotta be ready to go."

The task might be easier said than done, as Fournette rushed for 159 yards and three touchdowns in LSU's season opener against Mississippi State.
