If Magee and Hilliard both make the roster, then yes.

That's about the average lifespan of an NFL running back anyway. Anybody who can stick in the league more than a year or two has accomplished something.

Season averages for each running back:

Ingram 607 rush, 72 receiving, 5 TD's
Richardson 508 rush, 228 receiving, 4.25 TD's
Lacy 1159 rush, 342 receiving, 12 TD's

Ridley 704 rush, 37 receiving, 5.5 TD's
Blue 528 rush, 113 receiving, 4 TD
Hill 1124 rush, 214 receiving, 9 TD's

Lacy won offensive rookie of the year, Jeremy Hill probably would have if not for some freak receiver named Odell Beckham Jr.

I'd say it's pretty neck and neck between LSU RB's and Bama's.
Granted next year Ingram will probably be a 1000 yard rusher, but that's not now. And yes, I included injured season, though it was pretty even on time missed with both Ridley and Richardson missing basically an entire season. Keep in mind that all three of LSU's running backs split carries while only one of Bama's (Ingram) really had to share carries.
