Guice has 3 games with over 20 carries. LF had 9 as a sophomore, including 8 with over 25 carries and didnt break down.
If Guice can do that with his running style, then i'll accept that he is better then LF.

Since I fricking hate blind links, I don't know what was said exactly.
If the excerpts posted on Guice and Harris capture the gist of what was said, then I think both are reasonable and not really that "bold".
Guice getting the ball in space as a receiver and running up the gut against a spread-out defense---and his staying healthier than LF---and he can shred defenses this fall.

That's because it's not accurate.

I don't know why these fools keep comparing what Guice did last season to LF of last season. It is just a stupid and unfair comparison because the man was hurt most of last season. If you wanna compare than do the comparison to his 2015 season when he was healthy and put up 2000 yards.

Guice proved that game he could handle a load, but I still don't think he is better than LF.

Honestly, I do not know why anyone even mentions Brandon Harris. He was not even a mediocre college quarterback. I was at Texas's student appreciation practice and Shane Buechele looked on point and Harris was being courted to be a 3rd string QB behind a sophomore and a freshman (unless the freshman were to be red-shirted). Either Herman knew something about Harris that we did not know or Harris is who we think he is and now this CBS writer is saying he will thrive? Under what pretenses? Benching Harris is probably one of the best game decisions Miles made since starting Lee the year we went undefeated in regular season.
I am just looking forward to what the 2017 season will bring at LSU and Texas.

I don't know how you can say that Guice was better when LF was hurt all year. They are both great backs and I can't wait to see Guice this year. I think Harris is capable of being a good QB. I think Miles scared the hell out of the QBs. They knew that if they threw an INT, they were either coming out the game or they would run the ball 90% of the rest of the game. It made them play tight and second guess themselves. Plus they weren't allowed to get in a rhythm. By the way, what would be a successful season for Harris?

Only if you account for Fournette being injured. Guice isn't better when both are healthy.

I'm all about the Love Guice is getting but that Florida game will always haunt me. One fricking yard. I'm hoping all the weight room work this off season prevents that from happening again.

I don't think either of those are farfetched.

Im right there with you. I love watching Guice run but he isnt better than LF.
Guice has the ability to take less big hits.
LF has a different gear, when healthy.
LF will need to try & avoid the collisions so often in NFL.

For both players, it will be the systems. Canada will give Guice a system where he will have opportunities run in space, whereas Les would routinely run Fournette straight into the teeth of the defense with an eight-man front. In my opinion, Fournette, as great as he was, under Les' system, was unable to completely showcase his skills.
I don't think any player is better than the other. I think Guice will put up better numbers, and the perception will become that he is the better player.
As far as Harris is concerned, I think he will thrive in a spread-like attack with solid coaching, which is something he sorely lacked here at LSU. He has a cannon for an arm, and is very accurate on deep throws. And when that is honed in with proper fundamentals, I think he can be a good qb for UNC.

Writer is 2-3, that's better than our hitters

And that's what the guy in this article is saying basically, that Harris can thrive in the right system, a spread system that allows him to pass regularly (high volume as he said in the article) so that he can get in a rhythm. That's exactly what he needs, he could never get in any kind of rhythm in the Miles/Cameron offense because he was pressing to hard to run the shite they were giving him that it affected his ability overall to do anything right I think. lol
He was stressing so hard to run that crazy offense he started regressing on the end, but he needs to be in a system that will allow him to be himself. To pass a lot, early and often so that he can get his rhythm going and then he'll be into the game feeling relaxed and all, he'll probably even take off on some designed runs called for him. I think that's what Fedora has in store for him, well see, if it doesn't work then we'll know for sure that he was a dud. lol

Guice looked great vs Bama? 2carries 8yards.
That's kind of my point. They didn't give him more carries even though the 2 that he had were better than most of fournette's.
