    Derrius Guice, time to do some damage vs a very good sec defense.

    I think we get a senior season from the great one. His injury does him no favors and it is not one that can easily be repaired. He has to prove he can come back and play through it, regardless.

    I think 284 yards against Ole Miss proved that. I'd love for him to come back, but he has nothing more to prove to the NFL.

    Hardly amounts to a season in the league.

    Not saying he won't get drafted, but his injury is the type that is hard to shake, even with surgery. Lot of teams are gonna pass till they see otherwise and he will continue to fall. He is a draft risk right now. No other way to say it

    I think he is suited up because he knows this is his last game at Tiger Stadium.

    He would make more money if he could repair it and have a great senior season. I'm sure his advisers will tell him his options after the season. He has two 10 mil policies on him so he could risk coming back.

    Oh gosh there is absolutely no chance he comes back next season.

    Plus knowing Leonard, he wants Guice to have his chance to shine next season in preparation for being drafted in the first round as well.

    Leonard Fournette lobbied Coach Eaux to play today and Coach Eaux told him to go get dressed.

    The skirmish in warm ups may have triggered Leonard to say, fuck it I am playing today.
