Might upset the fans but his ankle has not fully healed and LSU will desperately need him healthy for SEC play.

Also, Harris could use the work. Open it up and go 60 - 40 pass to run ratio (wishful thinking) with Guice, Williams, & Brossette splitting carries.

He's "likely" to play is what I believe Miles said in his presser. This could mean at least minimum carries.

Probably smart to sit him but keep it on the down low... Otherwise no one would show up.

He carried the ball over 20 times against Eastern Michigan last year.

If our OL doesn't play better, he should sit and get healthy.

I thought it was a joke how people were calling for him to sit out but at this point I wish he would

Was he injured then?

Les has killed his chance at a Heisman, so I would probably let him rest up for the SEC home opener.

We should sit all rbs until we can throw passes and catch them

If he is still not 100% I'd be down to start Guice and see how he does as the starter. With LF7 as a backup if we need him.

Fournette still got plenty of yards this past weekend. He ran over this part of our schedule last year with the exact same offense and put himself in the driver seat to win the award.

If he's hurt, yes, sit him. If he's healthy, let the big dog eat.

If he has a lingering injury from that hit he took late in the game, I would consider sitting him so that he has time to heal better and be 100% or as close to it as he will be. I wouldn't want to jeopardize his health.

We have other talent at RB and we should be able to beat Jax St. without him if necessary.

Guice may be in the doghouse after that fumble that led to the first 3 points of the game for Wisconsin. I dont remember seeing him much on the field after that.
