Guice has more yards, despite missing serious time
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.

Here's a good rule of thumb to being an all-conference back. You need to get at least 10 carries a game.
Says who? Internet user LSUgrad88? Aight.

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).
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.

I seem to remember Gump fans pointing out how poorly Fournette did against Alabama as proof he wasn't that good.
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.

Harris is better than Guice and its really not close. That's a ridiculously stupid statement even for you, internet user Tuscaloosa, which is saying something.
Find me the last great back, who deserved to be an all-conference back (which is the point of this discussion), who couldn't even get 10 carries a game. I'll patiently wait.
You also might want to take note of that elite QB Harris has. Exactly what do you think Guice would do if he had Hurts as his QB? But you might want to take off the crimson colored glasses to see that clearly.

So, to be clear, you, Y O U, are saying that Harris running against LSU's 7th in the conference rushing D, is an equal comparison to Guice, running against Bama's 1st in the conference rushing D. And that with LSU playing 2 or 3 TRUE freshmen on the oline?
