Is there something up with Hill & Copeland are they in the doghouse?

Look I understand that Hill had the most carries of any other back 14, but it just seems like he is not being featured like he was in the first half of the season. Is it wear and tear on his body limiting him or maybe because Miles knows he is gone and giving Magee more touches to get him ready for next year or did he do something to get in Miles dog-house?

But it just seems that there might be an underlying reason Hill is not getting more touches. Copeland it definitely looks like he is in the dog-house because no way Neighbors should start over Copeland.

Only the shadow (CLM) knows. It does defy logic sometimes but I've given up trying to figure out why some people are playing and others aren't. JC could still be paying for that fumble 2weeks ago.....I wouldn't be surprised!!!

Magee started well and Miles wanted to run, run, run. Saved Hill, and he wasn't needed, so others got some carries. IMHO Magee ran harder.

Copeland.is explosive, but Neighbors is more consistent. Copeland may be nicked.

Typical Miles, rb by committee. And I am about to get on the Neighbors train with Miles. He is killing it out there, Copeland may have lost his starting spot.

I like it.

I really like Magee. He is so compact and when he breaks one it looks like he gets shot out of a cannon.

The raw talent of backs like Hill is tough to duplicate, but Magee has done a hell of a job, and I really hope we continue to use him since he is so versatile.

I think Les goes with the "hot" hand. I like the way we pounded them for the 1st 3 qtrs, and then put Blue in.

Yea, it may be just me but it seems that Hill has lost a "step" and "desire" since the beginning of the season. Maybe just me. Can't wait to watch Fournette run AWAY from defenders.
FWIW Good offensive game plan by Cam.

I hope we get Neighbors to score a TD. He deserves one

Correct. The most carries of any RB.

Is it wear and tear on his body
Possibly. More likely, though, it's to prevent wear and tear on his body. Whether for later in the game or for the rest of his career - Hill wasn't needed as much in this game. Plus, the other RBs were playing GREAT.

Three things: 1. Neighbors is an absolute beast. Maybe you haven't noticed that. 2. Copeland fumbled at the 1 yard line and completely changed the momentum against our biggest rival in the biggest game of the season. 3. Copeland may be nicked up. Don't know.

The way Hill misses a quarter here and a quarter there, i'd speculate it has something to do with the off season altercation.

Miles was wanting to run the ball straight at them. Hill has admitted that he has trouble resisting the urge to try and voice it outside. With A&M stopping everything outside and Magee running so well up the middle it just made sense to give Magee some of Hills carries

I dont think that was anything to do with it. We just have a bunch of talented backs that deserve carries.

Try forgetting your agenda and watch with clarity what's happening on the field...it's really that simple...

JC was nicked so maybe he's not running him into the ground. Hill got the most carries and maybe they saw something that made them believe TG would be more effective. Not saying Hill couldn't have gained those yards but, he didn't.
