The only knock I have on Hill this year is that with the exception of the first quarter of Auburn he hasn't really seemed to take over a game.

Sure he has had some good runs, but he just hasn't really wowed me at the end of a game.

Do you not remember the UF game? He closed it out in the last two drives with carries 11, 7, 26, 1, 10, 2, 7. That's 64 yards on his 7 carries against the #2 ranked run defense. No other RB cam close.

His 4th quarter against UGA were 5, 2 (for a 1st down), 1, 8 (TD run) which is 16 on 4 carries and a TD.

His 4th quarter against MSU was 5 (TD run), 0, 20, 7 which is 32 yards on 4 carries and a TD.

He doesn't need to wow because he is not the closer. He usually does his dirt in about two quarters while Miles switches running backs out like a sporadic monkey.

This is what saddens me as an LSU fan. The guy leads the nation in TDs and is second in rushing. Yet people aren't "wowed" enough. GTFO.

You didn't understand my post at all.

This was kind of my point. My post was not meant to knock Hill. It's just throughout much of this year the guy gets a ton of yards in the first half, and then seemingly disappears. Like I said, I don't attribute it to him, it has more to do with coaching decisions and play calling.

I just really want to see more of Hill punishing defenses to close out games.
