Guice is better than LF
its like comparing apples and oranges at the same position. A healthy Fournette is > Guice imo, but there isnt much of a dropoff. Guice has wiggles unlike ive seen in a RB in a while. Fournette had the size and speed unlike ive seen in a while.

LSU had 2 elite all SEC (possiblly both all american) backs on the team at the same time. Thats pretty damn intriguing.

This is how Athlon rated them for best players in 2017 in their college football spring preview:

14. Derrius Guice, RB, LSU

4. Saquon Barkley, RB, Penn State

PFF - Top returning players

8. Saquon Barkley, RB, Penn State

12. Derrius Guice, RB, LSU

Oh, you got me there. From my little SEC bubble I should have been aware of a running back who is not even in the top 100 nationally in yards/carry. I need to take my blinders off and pay more attention to these OOC monster backs.

Well said.... Guice is only as good as the LSU O-LINE will take him..... But I believe he will put up monster #'s this coming season./.......

Barkley probably knows which way to run on a game winning play, so I'll go with him.

How is it not close? Guice almost matched his numbers in less games and almost 100 less carries.

The "not even close" is a bit exaggerated.

I'll be a very happy Buckeye when Barkley is gone after this year.

Yes and I bet you are very familiar with that top 10 then on that list...

You don't have to try to make excuses why you are biased and done know shite about college football since you don't know who Barkley is.

Barkley is much better than Guice. Best RB talent to come out since Adrian Peterson or Bush IMO.

Bring on the downvotes from Sec homers

Guice is easily the most impressive offensive player in college football right now.

He's played 1 good game(yes, due to injuries), easy there.
