All you have to do is see how many carries each had last season


So?

How do you know what should and shouldn't happen in LSU's run game? I don't think you really payed attention to Guice's play last season. Not trying to slight you, but this kid will break out if the carries are split.

There is no reason Fournette should carry the load of the offense like Henry did for Bama last season when we have a player as good as Guice.

Besides, Les has run RBBC before. Most notably the 2011 team and it worked out pretty well. I highly doubt Fournette will be the sole workhorse next season

Yes he will. But they are NOT going to split the carries evenly. If they do (As I pointed out earlier) Fournette will fall and not be #1. There are only so many plays you have in a game. Fournette will get the vast majority of the carries. Guice simply will not get enough carries this year to be in the top 30.

No team ever has a "sole" RB. The carries are ALWAYS split. But Fournette will get about 60% of the carries for LSU next year. (At LEAST 60%)
