Being short isn't necessarily a liability for a halfback, particularly an elusive one - makes it more difficult for defenders to pick him up coming out of the backfield.

He reminds me of Josh Robinson from Miss St. a couple of years ago only with more wiggle

How does he compare to Terrance Magee? They are roughly the same size so I figure he'd be a good comparison.

I was thinking Magee was bigger. More in line with Hilliard but he was last listed on LSU's site as 5'9 217

Mark Ingram won a Heisman at 5'7"-5'8".

The lower center of gravity makes it more difficult to bring him down. It also allows him to lose less speed on his cuts. Canada's offense will offer him a lot of opportunities to be successful.

These smaller guys are very frustrating to bigger guys because they are just quicker, hard to see, powerful, bounce off tackles, and are extremely hard to just get your hands on, easy to miss tackles on these type backs and especially CEH. He and Lannerd will be good backs. These guys and Guice should put on a show for the rest of country to see then other backs will be anxious to get here to do the same. GT

He is far better than Lanard, who wasn't getting meaningful snaps anyway.

Lower center of gravity. There is a reason Barry and Emmitt had great balance on the field.

Damn son! Just watched some video for the 1st time. He's kinda of Guice-ish with his vision and cuts! Feel much better about our future at rb after watching that.
