Here's just the 90 yard TD run

LINK

The most impressive play was stiff arming Bud Dupree (270 lbs) straight into the turf imo

Guice has better vision and balance. I don't think there is any question about that. However, Fournette is in a class with Bo Jackson and Herschel Walker when it comes to straight line power and speed. Fournette isn't going to make many people miss (like Guice does). But if he can hit the hole full speed and break into the secondary, there aren't a ton of DB's who (a) are eager to stand in front of him and (b) run him down from behind.

Being a "better" RB is largely subjective.

Health had lots to do with these arguments. Last year LF was hurt and Guice was 100% healthy. Now, it's opposite.

God some of you people are such prisoners of the moment. Not saying guice IS better, but he can be just as good in the NFL. He can be just like Lesean McCoy but with more power. Go ahead and give me all your downvotes, all of y’all just want to turn on Guice because Leonard is killing it in the NFL right now while guice is injured. Hmmm, I’m trying to think of another great LSU RB who was too injured to show out his junior year. Can’t put my finger on who it was

I remember when folks were saying Jeremy Hill was better than Fournette.

Here are some of the best hits:

SFP "Hill was more explosive."

"don't get me wrong LF7 had some great runs with highlight reel action going on, but hill would take many of those "big play" opportunities to the house on the right line. his read/vision allowed him to avoid the defenders eliminating the chance of the highlight juke/truck"

LE: "You're comparing greatness here. But Hill's ability to wait for a hole or see a cutback separates him from Leonard. Not a knock on Leonard, but that's the truth."

He is. It hard to stack up yards when you are met in the backfield by the defense on every play. Do you recall how Leonard Fournette did when he encountered the same thing (Bama)? He didnt fair too well. Even a Hall of Famer wouldnt be able to do anything if he wasnt getting any blocking from his offensive line. Guice is also banged up much like Leonard was last season. Cool take though.
