For all the preseason talk about how Matt Canada would do something new with the LSU offense, there was one element that looked the same Saturday.
On play after play, quarterback Danny Etling turned and handed the ball to running back Derrius Guice.
Etling did that 27 times for Guice rush for 120 yards and two touchdowns in the 27-0 win against BYU at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome. The Tigers' 57 rushing attempts were the most since the second game of the 2014 season, when LSU ran 58 times against Sam Houston State.
For Guice, the 100-yard rushing game was the seventh of his college career and third in a row, dating to his school record 285 yards against Texas A&M and his 138 yards in the Citrus Bowl win against Louisville.
