Particularly Guice, says he believes you should finish what you start and be there for your team.

I'm thinking it was more directed at Key.

I don’t think so. O loves Key. I think this was just straight up positive praise(and maybe a message for future Juniors), not a shot at anyone not playing.

Orgeron: I’ve never seen Derrius with too much of a workload. It comes easy for him. I think that week off to heal some injuries helped him. I really want to compliment him for playing in this game. Obviously other people may make some other choices which I don’t think is right. I think you need to finish with your team if you’re healthy. He wanted to finish with his team. When you do that as a junior, the LSU family and any family will respect you. You want to keep in good faith. Some juniors decide not to play in the bowl. I think Derrius Guice could’ve done that but he chose not to do that.

I don't think it was. Here is part of what O said.

I think it was mostly aimed at future Tigers who are who might consider skipping even when fully healthy, like Ohio State's Denzel Ward did this year.

Well his finger his hurt but that injury can be played with. I'm not judging Key though because I'm not the one who stands a chance of getting injured and losing millions of dollars in the process. Until you walk in those shoes no one should judge.

Ok well I’ll take your word for it. I thought he was having shoulder issues again on top of his finger. What a flaky year he’s had .

He could simply be praising Guice for using his week off wisely to rest and make sure he’s as close to 100% as possible....while taking a jab at Fournette for not playing in this same bowl game last year.

You may agree, but you don't blast your players like that in the media. You just can't do that. Behind close doors, sure, but not in the media. Doesn't look good.

#LSU coach Ed Orgeron did not hold back on his feeling about juniors who skip their bowl game. Of note: Leonard Fournette last year and Arden Key this year are juniors who did not/are not playing in LSU's bowl game under Orgeron.
