On Wednesday, LSU running back Derrius Guice wasn't expected to play against Syracuse after missing the first three days of practice heading into Saturday's game against the Orange.
On Thursday evening, Tigers coach Ed Orgeron changed his tune and told reporters Guice practiced that afternoon and now was in line to play.
Guice did play and started but it was obvious he wasn't his normal self. He finished with eight carries for 14 yards.
But senior running back Darrel Williams stepped up and made sure the LSU rushing game kept going strong. Williams rushed 16 times for 92 yards and a 20-yard touchdown and also caught three passes for 50 yards.
