He's playing as well if not better as Fournette at this point of the season last year. I say true, but don't think we will see as large of an improvement as we saw with fournette from year 1 to year 2.

To be fair, Guice has the advantage of having LF play ahead of him. By the time Guice is doing his damage, the defense has had about all of the "run stopping" it can handle.

Guice is an AWESOME talent. i am not taking anything away from his accomplishment. But, last season, LF did not have LF playing ahead of him.

Guice has had some absolutely incredible vision for a freshman. That is what really sets him apart.

I think he is playing as well. Lots of outside factors to consider in saying that but overall I would say True

Guice is having a good freshman season, but statistically I don't think he will out perform Fournette's freshman season.

I'm not going to get into comparing the 2, but it's great to have him when fournette needs a break. It keeps defenses honest. At MSU, Guice's runs looked hesitant at the point of attack, he has certainly gained confidence and is running like a beast now!!!

The thing I love most about our running back corps is watching pin dents just break out in laughter when they talk about the talent we have:

OL play is the difference.

Guise can be as good as LF over time. He has all the intangibles...

I'll say one thing for Guice, he looked a hell of a lot more engaged/energetic/than LF against SC. To be fair to LF though, he was prolly tired and Guice was prolly amped to get playing time and show what he can do, which LF doesn't have that aspect (which could be what's good about bringing Guice in; that he does have that thirst)

He's good. If LF7 wasn't here, we'd be happy with him as our starting tailback.

I think the OL is much better than last year and that's the main reason.

You're getting downvoted but at this time last year people were calling Fournette an average back or a bust.

I haven't checked, but I think Guice has gotten less carries than Fournette did this time last year, so it's tough to make a good comparison. Also, our offensive playcalling and runblocking is better than last year's.

Guice has definitely been a monster with the little carries he's received. He certainly looks like he could go down as an all-time great LSU RB.

I don't think I have ever seen a freshman RB run as fearless as Guice. Would be like putting Juice at RB.

Last year's O line was completely different, not to mention Jenning's qb play left zero doubt about any passing possibilities. This year's offense is totally different and Guice in enjoying the benefits of that.

The way Guice runs scares me a bit. He's a fighter and hard to take down, but watch his legs when they are on him. His legs aren't planted and pushing like a power back. He's kicking and spinning. Every time I see him do this, I cringe thinking he's going to get seriously injured. Obviously, I hope that never happens but fear it will. It reminds me of Bo Jackson refusing to go down and fighting for every inch.

What difference does it make? We are in this year, not last year.
