Fournette will not be the #1 back at the start. Hilliard and Magee will get the majority of the carries at the start and LF will come in like Jeremy Hill did in 2012. There will be a lot of rotation though.

While I agree with this, Hilliard better come out swinging this spring or he won't touch the ball much in 2014 IMO. I know he had the personal stuff going on but he lost a step this last season and I hope he gets it back this off season. Love watching him run downhill!!

If Fournette nor Hilliard is not starting then we may have very few rushing yards against Wisconsin. Magee may start but may not tally many carries. Magee did not do well against Iowa (#6) and they were ranked below Wisconsin in run defense (#5). Sometimes, size and strength matter when trying to get tough yards and break down a defense.

In the Big 10, the linebackers do not play with athleticism as much as taking the proper pursuit angles and relying on technique, IMO. They had no trouble stopping the quicker, smaller Magee and I was hoping he would break one, but they simply attacked him.

However, a good off-season could do wonders.
