I seriously think we have the top two running backs in the country. Obviously Fournette's a tank, but Guice really flashes dominance all the time. I think he'll be super special

I'd take Guice over Mccaffrey any day.

As pair yes. Guise isn't yet one of the top 2 back on an individual basis.

I don't care if I am biased. Guice runs like Walter Payton, and Fournette is like a faster Earl Campbell with scat back agility.

Both have WR quality hands.

I seriously believe Fournette f**ks up the LSU and SEC record book next year (I mean destroy them bitches) and then Guice brings back memories of Reggie Bush's heisman year, but with ridiculous tackle breaking ability added.

Lets not get ahead of ourselves, Mccaffery is a Great player.

Guice really doesn't get enough credit, staring behimd LF7, is tough. He is very special and has a fantastic career ahead. Hopefully we utilize him more next year. Get him some screens, line him up at wr.

I really hope the staff makes changes this offseason and actually utilize all this talent. We have the ability to create so many mismatches and be so balanced. Hopefully Smith gets time. Was he injured? Dude should always be on the field, when he is out there, he is ALWAYS open and giving defense problems.

Whoever the new RB coach is, he'll have a lot to work with.

I would gladly take Mccafrey as well, he'd be a nice 3rd string back.

I mean..I think a lot of it is just that he doesn't get the opportunity as much because he's behind Fournette.

He's incredibly talented

Guice is a top 10 back in the country overall. His YPC last year were absurd...last I looked, he was leading the country with around 8.5 YPC

If guice got the lions share he would be an elite back no question. But I don't think we can say he's a top 5 back overall right now. Just not really fair to the other guys

I am not going to hold it against him for having the best back in the country on his team.

If we can only figure out how to run a screen pass. Or, a swing pass to the RB.

He did not look like a freshman out there this year! The guy is a special talent, and I've always loved his attitude.

So true, however, McCaffrey is a perfect player for the Pac12 and their defenses.

Not saying he couldn't be good elsewhere, but he's definitely maximizing his talents in that system and against those defenses.

Guice is a reason I think Fournette's numbers decline next year. Guice proved he's worthy of stealing some carries. I think Fournette wore down late in the year. It'll be great to have 2 great backs splitting carries to stay fresh.

I hope Nick Chubb makes a full recovery, he's a special RB.

Guice is crazy good. tgat kid can move. He isn't the type of RB that can just run people over like LF is, but he can flat out make defenders look stupid with his ability to juke around them.
