I don't see why he wouldn't play RB. He fits the type of back we want perfectly. And you can't really say there is a log jam in front of him there since we play so many and guys get hurt, etc.

I think Kenny gets 70% of the touches for the next three seasons...maybe two. He's special

If Stud and Wilson are still here over the next few years, we will continue to rotate like we do. Stud said earlier this year that this is the first time he's coached an offense where he didn't care who ran the ball. He knows they don't need a bell cow.

ETA: I meant to say, he doesn't care who runs it because he trusts them all equally.

70?

lol. Ford, Blue and Ware are all just 1 class ahead of him. Magee has showed flashes.

no way he gets that many. Maybe as a SR. Not until then though. The blueprint they used this year will hold true at least the next 2 years, imo.

Hill be a very good RB. Whether he gets his chance to show his abilities next season...doubtful. But Hill and Hilliard will be our power backs in the future. This is the deepest I've ever seen a team at rb. Its unreal.

It's extremely high, I know. But, can you not agree that he has every single attirbute to be the perfect back? I thought Ware was the perfect Miles RB, but the quick feet and pad level of KH puts him in a whole nother league.

I'm not being a homer. He will be better than TR and Latt.

And finally, I think Les' next challenge is getting LSU another Heisman and KH will be his next stamp on the program.

This could all be bullshite, but I guess we shall see.

ARK and AUB run D is averaged out to 84th in the nation between them.

Hilliard has been impressive, no doubt. But his highlights have come against these 2 teams.

No one talks about Ford who played just as good, if not better in these 2 same games.

Ford has the quickest burst of any RB on the roster. He finishes his runs with power, but he makes more guys miss so people assume he isn't a power runner. I still think he's our most talented back, but I like him as the second option behind the straight-ahead guys. His burst makes him much more dangerous as the change of pace second guy in.

I like ford, but I mostly think of one play with him and that's the option. I know he does more, but he ain't on KH's level.

I agree Arky and Aub are terrible, but his results aren't what impresses me. Look at KH's first game action and look at him now. He gets better vision, quicker and more confident in each game

I like KH but seems like he runs alittle taller than ware. I'm not saying KH don't lower his shoulder but ware is able to punish tacklers more. I think that if a tackler ever tries to take on KH will be punished

BR or somewhere else

No way KH gets 70%. Miles is keeping his backs fresh and rotating them game by game. I think Ware is still the starter next year, then you'll see Blue and MaGee and then Hilliard later in the season, just like we did this year.

I think Hill is overrated personally. He had some huge holes to run through in HS. I don't think he is as tough as a big back should be either...

Hilliard is a good one no doubt but Ford is our most talented rb easily. He has a rare combination of skills. He may not always show them all or use them correctly but they are there. He's a better and more talented version of Keiland Williams. I know Keiland never lived up to the hype and gets criticized a lot by LSU fans but the guy had the whole package talent wise. Even the NFL people see that.

I also agree with duece to a point in that I'm not overly high on Hill but I do think he's the best rb option we have in this class and is worthy of an offer. I like Bourque a lot but don't think he's as good a rb as Hill. Bourque's a better athlete and that's why I'm high on him

Hilliard made 3 or 4 critical third down runs for first downs...
Reminded me of Addai.

Do you think TR has top end speed? Not saying TR is the perfect back, but a decent comp.
