LSU running back Derrius Guice has been ruled out of Saturday's game against Syracuse, coach Ed Orgeron said on his radio show.
Per The Advocate of Baton Rouge, Orgeron said on his radio show that Guice "will not play this week, but he is getting better."
Guice exited Saturday's 37-7 loss to Mississippi State with what Orgeron told reporters earlier in the week was a "minor injury." Orgeron did not disclose the nature of the injury, however.
The SEC's leading rusher last season, Guice has rushed for 300 yards on 57 carries (5.3-yard average) with four touchdowns. He has yet to break off the long rushes that were his signature last season, however.
Darrel Williams is likely to start Saturday's game for 25th-ranked LSU (2-1). He has 28 rushes for 159 yards and four touchdowns this season.
