As a running back Guice was as good as any LSU player to put on the cleats, with 3 games over 250 yards. Fast, bruising back who invited contact and played with incredible energy. Now, due to all the domestic violence episodes he was charged with, any mention of his accomplishments have been scrubbed and he’s largely forgotten.
A modern day Cecil Collins. He was picked in the 2nd round of the NFL draft but knee injuries hampered his launch, and new allegations of violent abuse surfaced. Sad ending to one of the top running backs ever at LSU.

All the charges in Virginia were dropped

What ever came about the 70 something yr old accusing of sexual harassment in New Orleans?

One of the allegations involved a 74 year old woman. Not sure if he settled and that’s why the charges were eventually dropped but by the way both LSU and the NFL have moved on from Guice, there must have been something there.

So he has never been convicted of anything?

Believe all women.

Remembering? Why? Can’t overlook the shame and embarrassment brought to LSU.

He had some of the best cuts I have ever seen. It was like watching a player in the matrix.

I played football against him in high school, and have met him several times. He’s kind of a piece of shite.

You can be a take with that talent. It covers up all the negative that plagued his whole life. But once you get injured, the bad can outweigh what production you could have and it’s time to move on.

Shame he truly couldn’t get some help and he couldn’t realize how he was being earlier in his life.

I still blame him for that Florida loss when he ran the wrong way.

He was good. But I don’t recall him being much of a factor in big games

He was best as a backup honestly because of the way he ran. When you could give him 8 carries a game, he could drag his junk all over a defense, because he was GD insane. When he had to increase his carries and run without being such a psycho... his production was normalized.

But I'd say, without a second thought, if you told me to pick 2x all-time LSU RBs to go win a game with, idk who'd be my starter, but Guice would be backing him up, and he'd get 15 ypc.

Edit: 2016 - 7.6 ypc backup
2017 - 5.2 ypc starter

He did a splash and dash with a wave runner one time on our boat one Memorial Day weekend on the Tchefuncte river. He threw up an L and started chanting LSU as he drove away on the Doo.

True story.

Yeah the behind scenes stuff I heard about him was bad

He would go to bars, act like a jerk, hit on girls in front of boyfriends, and generally behave like an arrogant man child .

Not a fan
