Personally, I believe the kid earned the right to significant additional playing time with his spectacular performance on Saturday night. He demonstrated good vision, acceleration through the hole, and explosive burst. I thought he outdueled Blue.

It's going to be interesting to see how the staff manages Magee in light of Hill's imminent return.

Second or third back in the rotation. Depends on how Blue performs the next two weeks.

Depending on what Hill can do but he has out shined the rest and deserves the starting spot imo and 20 touches a game at least

Agreed. I'd like to see some more out of Magee. He's battled for playing time the last 2-3 years. He now has a shot to shine. Let him have it.

Some people are clueless,as long as Hill is still on this team and eligible he is the #1 RB.

Regardless of who the #1 RB is(Hill or Blue) Magee should be the #2 RB / complementary back. Hes a great #2RB for what we want to do. When Ford was this role, and he came in the game, everyone and there mother knew the ball was going outside. When Hilliard came into the game, everyone knew it was going inside. With Magee, he does both extremely well. Hes strong and physical enough to run inside. And he has a great low center of gravity and runs behind his pads. He also has the speed, vision, and moves to run the ball outside. Also is a tough tackle for DBs. Magee also is a great pass catcher out the backfield. He was moved to WR last year in hope to get him on the field. Great hands. Cameron didnt show it vs TCU, but i expect our RB to catch a pretty good amount passes, like Ray Rice for Baltimore. Magee is certainly similar to Rice. Magee should get the 2nd most carries on the team.

I love Blue. Hes a solid RB. But, Hill is just a better RB and fits better as a starter, especially against SEC teams.

1.Hill (20 touches)
2. Magee(15 touches)
3. Blue(12 touches)

Blue is a great RB to have come in and get a series or 2 here and there and give Hill a breather. But Hill is just a better powerful RB and has the speed to take it 70 yards to the house. Magee is a perfect complementary back and can run inside and outside well and catch the ball great. Blue isnt great at 1 thing, but he isnt bad at anything.

We need to use Hill as much as we can, while we still can.

Magee ran hard, & looked impressive I think he shoud get more touches than Hilliard as of now.

Magee has more heart than Blue and Hill combined. And better hands.

he was right back in after the fumble, and Les thought he played well, so doubt it.
