I will get crucified but I say yes. Turnovers and more possessions are more crucial than a special runningback. We have someone of Guice's caliber every year at LSU, so our runningbacks are always pretty good and can run through a hole for 5-7 yards. What we do not always have is someone that can help get our defense off the field on third down or cause a turnover and give us extra possessions. We also don't have a valuable special teams player like Mathieu, both in the return and field position game.

You shouldn't get crucified for knowing football. Some people need to put aside their love for LF7 and answer the question objectively

No sir! Kevin Faulk, Jeremy Hill, Dalton Hilliard and Fournette. Those are the only backs comparable to Guice in the last 25 years. As good as Joseph Addai and LaBrandon Toefield were, they were not at Guice's level.
