Lets go to last year's RB carries
Hill 47%
Magee 20%
Blue 17%
Hilliard 16%

With that being said, it will start like this.
Magee 45%
Fournette 35%
Hilliard 20%

It will end like this:
Fournette 50%
Magee 35%
Hilliard 15%

Why do you and others think that Miles will wait on using Fournette much until later in the season?
I think he is going to go in and show he is the boss right out the gate.

He needs to stop running like a woman if he wants to touch the ball 30% of the time.

Jeremy Hill's Freshman Season
First 6 Games: 13 carries
Next 7 Games: 129 carries

The numbers may not be this low, and Fournette may or may not be better than Hill, but I still think that we aren't going to start the season with a true freshman as our workhorse back.

I think "Other" is the best way to categorize all runs not by the main three. QBs will get some touches, I mentioned Neighbors, and I just don't see Williams getting a significant workload in 2014.


Def, baring injury, the qbs may get more rush attempts then williams. Not that hes not good, but he will most likely be fourth on the depth chart. You have the qbs, the fullbacks, and occasional wr sweep. Dont forget the punter also, never know when we may pull that trick out again. Other is def the best way to categorize the last 10-15%

I hope we dont need Williams and he can red shirt but I think he will play. Fournette leaves after 3 years Williams has one more

We will avg 65 plays per game, maybe 70 if we don't turn the ball over or get too conservative, so lets use 68 plays

25 passes per game from 68 plays per game = 43 rushes per game

Fournette- 18 for 42% x 13 games x 6.3 YPC = 1,474 yards
Magee- 12 for 28% x 13 games x 5.7 YPC = 889 yards
Hilliard- 10 for 23% x 13 games x 4.2 YPC = 546 yards
Neighbors- 2 for 7% x 13 games x 2.7 YPC = 70 yards

Hill was behind FOUR RBs before the season started. All four had at least 500 yards or 6 TDs the previous year. Hill had just sat out a year of football due to the "incident".

People seem to forget that Magee was moved to WR because he couldn't crack the top 5 at RB in 2012.

The last thing is that Fournette just has way more talent than Hill or any other LSU RB does. Fournette is considered a once a decade type RB. No way Miles starts him off slow.
