NEW HAVEN, CT. – For the first time this season, LSU sophomore running back Derrius Guice took home a national weekly award as he was named the Walter Camp National Offensive Player of the Week the organization announced.
It’s the fourth player of the week honor of any kind for Guice this year after earning SEC Co-Offensive Player of the Week honors for the third time on Monday as well. Guice is the eighth LSU player since 2004 to earn the national award, the last being Leonard Fournette last season.
On Thanksgiving night in front of a national television audience against Texas A&M last week, Guice closed the regular season with his best game as a Tiger in setting a new single-game school record with 285 yards rushing, carrying the ball 37 times with four touchdowns.
