What is your ideal carry split percentage between Fournette and Guice?

Throwing out the scenario of Brossette and Williams getting 40% of the carries because y'all are up by 28 at the half in every game, obviously you'd all like that...but as far as the carry split in meaningful minutes- where do you think it should be to maximize the production and fuel in the tank at the end of the season? On a game by game basis you logically ride the hot hand, more speaking towards the course of a season.

55/40/5 seem like the sweet spot or is that too low for LF7?

Call me crazy and say it will never happen but I have a strong feeling Guice and Fournette will be in the same formation a lot. Guice could be a very good slot guy that can go in motion an be headaches for opposing defenses.

4Net and Williams on the Goal-Line.

Assuming about 40 rushing attempts a game, I would like to see about 25 for LF, 10 for Guice, and 5 for the others.

That translates to about 63/25/12

Thought we would see a lot of that last year but you know.

Will likely be around 60-65% LF/~30% Guice/5-10% other... which is as it should be, I think.

I think also a lot depends on where lf7 sits at the Heisman pecking order. You gotta give him a chance to win it. Doubt Brossette and dwilly get 40 percent of the carries.

This, and if I was a betting man I'd put money on Guice having over 1000 yds with 30%.

Last year LF got 70% with DG and DW getting 10-15%. I wonder how much the Heisman will play in all of it this year. If LF wan't to make a run at it, will LM keep giving him the ball?

Fournette needs to touch the ball 25 times a game unless it's a blowout.

I would say on the season it should be
LF-70
Guice- 20
Dwill- 10

Guice is nasty. I'm not sure LF is that much better.

60/40% split i guess?

LF 20-25 carries a game
Guice 10-15 carries a game
Others 5-10 carries a game

Depends on who is hot to be honest.

Guice: 70%
Darryl Wms.: 25%
Brossette: 5%
Fournette: 0%

LF should just chill and heal up and get ready for the NFL and a big contract.
