Standing straight up and slowly backing into the pile is not how to gain yards.

Hilliard had some decent runs in 2012, but was lost in the fray when Jeremy Hill started to assert himself after Blue got injured. Hill and Magee were an effective 1-2 punch, so it seemed that Hilliard really didn't factor into the game plan late in the season. Personally, I'd like to see him go out in style for his senior year.

Hilliard is a nice 2nd, 3rd RB. Jeremy Hill is one of the 5 best RBs to ever don the purple and gold. His troubles took away a year and 3 games of his career, else we would all be bowing at his greatness. I have high hopes for Fournette just like the next guy, but I think the odds are extremely against him this year being as good as Hill was last year. If ever.

He ran great when we had a very dominant o-line in 2011. Had gaping holes and he usually came in late after d-lines were worn down. Basically the same size as Hill, but doesn't have near the speed, vision or lateral movement that JH has.

Supposedly he has trimmed some weight and gotten a little quicker. With an experienced o-line, hopefully he can contribute this year and fill his role on the team. Relieve Buga & Magee and be a solid leader in the locker room.

His best shot for a future in the NFL is to bulk up to about 240-245 and be a versatile fullback IMO. Will never have enough speed to play tailback in theNFL.

Gaining too much weight, injuries, and fumbles have cost him playing time. If he can stay away from those things, he should play a healthy amount this year

The cast of characters in an LSU backfield will make or break any RB. You better be in shape, and willing to compete at an extremely high level or you will quickly be forgotten. I cannot complain about an LSU backfield, ever, 1 of, if not the best in College Football

He's been playing hurt mostly since his fresh year. He had a bad case of turf toe and a knee issue, both caused him to put on weight from not going full speed. Last year he was getting healthy but they wanted to bring him back slow. I expect a big year.

I'm afraid he doesn't exist.

Hilliard is talented; rather, Hill really separated himself from the pack, even in his freshman year. I expect Fournette to be a similar story to Hill--if not better, of course.

Look at Hillard's stats

He has averaged 5.23 yards per carry during his carrier at LSU

He has scored 21 TD's rushing scoring 1 TD for every 10 carries

Compare these stats to an all time LSU favorite Jacob Hester

Hester averaged 4.89 yards per carry

Hester scored 20 TD's rushing averaging 1 TD for every 18 carries

I think Hillard's play is solid not sure if anything has happened only Hill got the job and was awesome
