All I see from LSU fans are subjective arguments and purple and gold eye tests.


That's hilarious. Subjective arguments, right? Here's a few facts genius. Guice has more yards, despite missing serious time and is at least good enough to be his teams unquestioned number one back. Here's a good rule of thumb to being an all-conference back. You need to get at least 10 carries a game. Moreover you can't put up a whopping 33 yards against the best defense you faced (at least Guice put up 71 against Bama's defense). I seem to remember Gump fans pointing out how poorly Fournette did against Alabama as proof he wasn't that good. But I guess the crimson eye tests are OK when it suits your purpose.

The biased gump media is doing all it can to take away from Guice.

It’s taken him 66 more carries (roughly 6 extra games worth of carries for Harris) to accumulate 106 more yards.

He also has two fewer touchdowns, despite carrying the ball 66 times more than Harris.

Says who? Internet user LSUgrad88? Aight.

Harris and Guice both averaged around 3.7 per carry. The difference is Harris is a part of a backfield with multiple elite backs - including QB, and Guice only has one other serviceable back to carry the load. It’s not Harris’ fault that LSU’s recruiting coordinator under Les Miles did a poor job.

That’s because he averaged 2.07 and 1.63 YPC in back to back years.

Harris is better than Guice, and it’s really not close.
