Take away the pass and Stidhams not Top 5 in the SEC. Take away the football and Guice plays quidditch. Making statements that make no sense makes no sense.



You judge WR for their ability to make clutch catches. Those WRs who are not afraid to go over the middle and go up for a ball. Ridley might be that type of WR, but we haven't seen it yet. That is why I question top 50 status. Is that hard to understand ?

It's pretty amazing Bama was about to run through the SEC like shite through a goose last year with all these mediocre players. I wonder what it'll look like once Saban gets some actual top 50 talent down there.



I think they did it on the backs of other players. My point to why I think ESPN reporters are lazy.

Dude Guice is gonna ball out this year. They may have him rated too low at #5, but he's a top 10 player in CFB this year barring injury.

Ridley went up and grabbed many tough balls against elite defenses in 2015 when he had an average passer. Your statement is wrong that's why it's hard to understand.

Most of Ridley's yardage involved Kiffin signaling TD before the ball was thrown.

Guice- looked good at times, but LSU was built to run the ball.

Lol Guice ran for more yards than any SEC RB last year. And that's only starting 7 games and averaging about 5 carries for games LF was playing.

Look at the Defenses he got most of those yards against:

It's the same bullshite every year on this board. "X bama player is overrated, no way he should be on the preseason whatever list. He only looks good because he plays with 5-stars".

Then they ball out, win hardware, go on to the NFL and go to pro bowls and sign fat contracts.

Oh, I also love "Saban isn't a good game coach, he can only win because he has talent" (the same supposedly overrated talent, they think doesn't deserve the accolades they get).

Well I know he averaged nearly 21 yards per carry against your team's D. Every game he got double digit carries in he played well (likely a rhythm runner). Spin it how you want man, Guice is gonna be legit this year.

5 highlights in Championship Games and on a season defining drive on 3rd down against Tennessee making incredible jump ball catches against NFL DBs, yea.

You know, since he hasn't proven he can "make clutch catches".

I am not taking Iron Puppets side or anything but to be fair, Guice only had 3 runs against us. All late runs and he had a big 52 yard run to make those stats..

But I do agree, he will be a beast this year.
