4. Running Back, Derrius Guice

This dude is a stud running back that is the future of the Tigers’ rushing attack. He has been killing it all season long in Leonard Fournette’s absence and hasn’t looked back since. As only a sophomore, Guice has run for 1,249 yards and 14 touchdowns in 2016.

Not to mention, he has a ridiculous 14.3 yards per carry average over the course of 11 games. That is highly impressive for a young back in the Southeastern Conference.

It’s not like the Cards haven’t already faced some elite running backs this season. However, they have gotten worse against the run since their win over Florida State back in September.

Fournette had to miss the Tigers’ last game against Texas A&M. Therefore, if Fournette isn’t able to suit up, then the Cardinals still have a huge challenge of trying to get Derrius Guice and the LSU offense off the field.
