    LSU will have more success on the ground than they have in the last two years. Guice has better cutting ability than LF did and the passing game and wide running grade will force Bama to be more honest.

    I said Guice gets 86 but I have a feeling he will break one run of 50 or more yards that will be the bulk of his total yardage. If that one long play comes on a pass play the Guice gets 35 or 40 yards rushing.

    So a pass is really a run, if applicable?

    Not statistically unless it's ruled a lateral.

    In Earl Campbell's rookie year he had almost but not quite 1000 yards for the season until they reviewed the film and ruled that a long run on a swing pass had actually been a lateral, putting him over 1000.

    Ok... LSU defense to score three defensive touchdowns and LSU special teams scores twice. Yes, LSU wins and O says "no rematch."

    I was agreeing, I misread your post.

    Once again your predictions are spot on I think Williams got more on one play. So negative, and limited faith.
