re: Why isn't Jeremy Hill getting the ball more??

3.) Magee is being rewarded for having a good spring, good season and well, not getting into trouble.

Miles has been his biggest fan since he arrived - they tried to get him on the field by moving him to wideout, he was too good to keep out of the backfield. His style is better suited against some teams. Against aTm, it seemed as though they battered the aTm front seven with Hill during the first couple of drives, but then Magee started ripping off big runs - in fact, if Magee had scored on that TD, instead of having to run it 3 more times (netting 3 yards, I think), I think he would have averaged almost 15 yards per carry - that's amazing against even a bad running defense like the Aggies.

Magee only rushed 4 times in the second half - all were 6 yards or longer. Hill rushed 2 times in the second half, averaging 12.5 yards. Other than those 6 carries, Hilliard and Blue took the other carries in the second half.

Hilliard and Blue each had a couple of 0s, 1s and 2s, but even with those, they averaged 4.5 and 4.7 yards per carry, respectively.

Magee gets the credit, and the big run was huge, but the OL should game balls for this performance.

* 4 different backs averaged 4.5 yards per carry or better.

* Team converted 11 third downs

* No sacks

* Combined average 5.9 yards per rush

* Rushed 55 times for 324 yards, net.
