Why is it that Jeremy Hill would break a long one damn near every week and LF...

Hasn't really found the daylight as of yet? I mean, I'm not putting down LF in any way. He has a skill set that only a few players have ever had and I know he's as fast if not faster than Hill. However, it just makes wonder why he hasn't broken the long one yet. Once Hill got to the 2nd level, it was pretty much a wrap. I just don't see that with LF yet. Thoughts?

That line last year we had was downright nasty.
Plus we have a new line coach and the line is just starting to gel. Give it time. It will come.
Also, teams couldn't load the box with 8-9 people last year. They had to respect the pass.

Jeremy Hill wasn't even on a football team at LF's age. Maybe give it a little time.

Jeremy HIll is an all time great. LF is no where near that league yet. When he gets a 100 on an alltime Gump D, then we can start that kinda talking.
Mett threw for 300 yards; Jennings hasnt done that yet why?

Because J Hill is better.

It's a good question in the OP. And it needs to be pointed out that Hill missed an entire season of ball and yet was doing this in '12.
I don't think Jeremy has Leonard's top end speed but he has better vision.
Two key points:
1) Our OL played like garbage until the UF game.
2) LF's vision is getting better - he's simply runing more mature. Enjoy.

I love all of LF's detractors.
He'll break the school freshman APY record this week and he's on pace to break the school freshman rushing yards record, but he's still got detractors.
Some of y'all are ridiculous.

Hill was our best running back in over a decade man.
LF is 18.

Last year Hill had 12 runs of 20+ yards. So far, Fournette has 7 runs of 20+ yards. Hill had 203 attempts last year, too. So far, Fournette has 131 attempts. Fournette won't get to 203 carries this year, I don't think.
Now, Hill did have more runs of 10+ yards than Fournette does this year, and it's not really close (40 to 15).
And, keep in mind that this is Fournette's first year.

its the difference in the passing game...we dont have one this year so they load the box...last year though we had a great passing game threat so the defenses are more honest...one helps the other

Better blocking for Hill?
Speed of game?
Vision?
JH - Had one of the best RS freshman seasons in LSU history with 755 yards rushing with 12 TDs!
LF is a "true freshman" and has 657 yards rushing and 7 TD!
With 3-4 (Bowl game) games remaining LF could get close or surpass those numbers!

One thing that I think I've noticed is that Jeremy Hill has a freakish ability to be close to full speed after about two steps, while Fournette seems to have a slightly slower start. Maybe this is something that can be improved by Moffitt and his crew.

Hill always seemed able to keep his balance when he got hit. Early in the year LF7 was having trouble with this but is getting better every week.

LF has had a lot of runs where he runs to initiate contact, instead of trying to run around defenders.

If our line played every game this season like they played against Ole Piss...............LF would have a ton more yards.
It was hard for him to run with the entire DLine in the backfield with for a few of those games.

Hill is the best back in LSU history

Hill did not play until his second year out of HS so he was physically more mature when he was a TF. He appears to have a quicker burst than LF at this point but LF is more capable of pushing a pile IMO. Also, I think JH was the beneficiary of better perimeter blocking by the WR's in his two years, though that area for this Tiger team is showing improvement as of late. But the most important factor for JH in my view is that he benefitted from having a future NFL QB throwing passes all over the field and on any down.
