I am very curious of the staff's thinking on this one.

I rank him 4th on the depth chart

we don't pass to our running backs so what is the deal?

We didn't try to pass, so it wasn't for pass blocking reasons.

If anyone has any insight, please share it..

Maybe the coaching staff is determined to "help" him succeed?

Since Harris has been #2 all year, maybe he has been running his reps with Magee all season. Have the freshman in with someone he is comfortable with.

I seem to remember him playing quite well, actually.

Although I didn't particularly like Magee starting the game, he played well AT FIRST. I can also understand that, it being a road game, Miles wanted a vet to set the tone, and Magee did do that.

HOWEVER, when we were down 3 scores and needed to sustain drives, Fournette needed the load. Giving him one or two carries is not going to keep Auburn off the field. Magee started off well, but he didn't hold up too well as the game went on.
