The answer is Kenny Hilliard. I cant believe he doesn't get more PT. He is leaps and bounds better than Blue and especially Magee.

Hilliard is a Hoss who has speed, size, and power. The only 2 players that should run the ball when we are within +/- 14 of our opponents should be Hill and Hilliard.

ill leave this here... dude hasn't lost a step he just doesn't get the PT he has earned.

pay attention @ 2:10 2:25 and 3:34

What say the Rant?

as far as talent is concerned, i agree, but hilliard hasn't played to his potential since the first couple games last year. it'd be nice to see him do so, but he just hasn't

I agree Magee is the best back on the team.

I was suprised he broke those. Got six carries and 3 went for tds. Not sure any of them need more carries. Just here and there to give hill rest. But fir the last few seasons we usually have a guy energe in the back half if the season. Naybe that will be hilliard.

Wrong! He was last Saturday, but hasn't shown anything over the past year. He's our 3rd or 4th best back.

Yeah, until the State game last week, he had looked pretty bad since 2011.

I do feel like he doesn't get enough credit for what he does. We have an amazing stable of running backs though. If it's meant for him to have more pt he'll eventually have a game where he stands out. For now just watch and see , although for me, Magee stands out.

TG idk what games you have been watching but Hilliard is nowhere near 3rd or 4th.

Over half that video was from two years ago, and most of the stuff from last year was against North Texas and Idaho.

Saturday was the first time in a long time that Hilliard ran anything like he did in that video.

Also, highlight videos will make anyone look like a Heisman winner. I'd rather see a video of all of them at their worst to determine who's the best.

It is close, but I still think it is Magee

I say every time it looks like someone has emerged as the second back they take a step backwards. Hilliard has looked great the last two games but it'd be nice to see him (and everyone else not named Hill) be a little more consistent.

Magee is the 2nd best back. kenny fumbles and doesnt get that forward push like he did his freshman year.

I know Magee fumbled at AUB but it was wet and his own lineman hit him. And Magee is really solid in the passing game

I noticed that too about most of the highlights... but last year he didnt play nearly as much bc Hill busted onto the scene.. and not many people make "Worst of" highlight reels... but regardless the way he bounces around and drags defenders with him is something a RB doesn't forget how to do... and Blue and Magee just don't have that.

Absolutely this! Hilliard has no vision and usually falls down on first contact without any fight!

Who cares. Hill is the only one that should touch the ball.

He hasn't hardly played sense 2011... They guy still has it... what he showed his freshmen year and into his sophomore year is something you cant just lose/forget how to do.
