re: How Does Hilliard Get Back to 2011 Form?

Jeremy Hill is a lot better than Kenny Hilliard and Alfred Blue. Early in the game vs. Bama, he takes a run up the middle, spins out of a tackle, bounces it to the outside (the far-side as Jim Hawthorne would say) and gains 4-6 yards. You just don't do that against Bama. Unless you're a once-in-a-generation player. This guy has the talent to be better than Faulk, Diesel, DD, Addai, and Ridley. He's similar to Cam Newton only because defenders are noticeably hesitant to tackle him because they probably won't drop him with one hit, and if he bounces off the tackle, he's gone. I think it's Hill's speed that people underestimate. This is what makes him so ferocious running, because he runs by DB's when he breaks into the open field. Watch him on those runs. It's like he's getting faster and the defenders are getting slower. This is extremely rare to see at the college level, especially in our conference. He reminds me of Marcus Dupree as a freshman at OU. When he breaks free, he's like a ghost.. gone.

And none of that even matters if he can't keep his dick in his pants and stay out of trouble. As for now, he's not even on the field because of stupidity and immaturity.
