No. He’s usually in street clothes by the 3rd Qtr watching his backups churn up yards against teams like Ole Miss.

Guice will get his chance against a good defense in two weeks. How many carries did he have in each of those games? YPC, over a minimum # of carries, is the only objective measuring stick between RBs on different teams against different competition.

 have to point out how good Alabama’s offensive line is too, though


They are good but Alabama has 4 backs that would start for most team's and all 4 get there chance to run behind that line. BH is the best of those 4 and its not close, #8 Mr. Jacobs is next IMO.

BH vision is incredible, he runs between the tackles as well as anyone and does it on obvious running downs.

don't be stupid. He's not even top 2. Bama's cheerleaders could run behind that line.

We all know UGA has the best stable of backs. Michel and Swift would be the #1 back at Bama. Chubb would be pre injury.

Lets hear the bama figs ruffles.

I don't think so regarding Bo - when he was healthy last year he was incredible but has been hurt by injuries.


Problem is that he's always hurt by injuries. At this point, this is who he is.

Two weeks from now, Harris will go off against LSU and Guice will get shut down by Bama. Rinse, repeat with whoever they hype next year and the next,etc.

Really wow. nowhere near, ya we know now how valuable your opinion is. A running back that has 81 att, 697 yrd rushing, 8.6 ypc and 10 tds is no where near one of the top back in the SEC.


Why did you say college and not future if he was “the best”. If he is a running back and good it really doesn’t matter where he plays.
That’s about as stupid as it gets. What you’re saying is AT Bama he is the best RB. Why? Because of the OLINE. Take other backs like those from UGA and plug them in or the guy at MSU or Pettway or whoever is at AU. Would they exceed his performance behind the same line? How about a healthy Guice? Until you can say, if I was a GM and I have a chance to take the best back in this class for a ground and pound offense like a Jacksonville or one that uses the run for PAP, you can’t say he is the best. Your logic is very flawed when you exclude talent from your equation when determining the “best”.
