Not really complaining....as McGee and the others are doing a solid job. But, it sure seems like Hill gets in and does his thing, and then he's out for about half the game. Is he hurt or something?

preserving Hill for his NFL career and getting Magee experience for next year

Magee has ran better the past 2 games as well, as Hill has been trying to bounce too much outside

IDK, its a little mind boggling how everyone here says he's a 100% gone to NFL and he doesnt even lead his own team in carries.

I dont get it either.

Because LSU has been selling (and more importantly recruits have absolutely been loving) that all LSU running backs play, play is merit based at that position at LSU (meaning the share of carries is determined by production), and that LSU doesn't beat the tread off your tires like Alabama does so you can have a longer pro career.

Every time recruiting gurus are on the radio or Frank Wilson etc., they pimp that line. That's what LSU is using on the trail and the results have been amazing. No need to change it now.

1.) He isn't finding the holes well, bouncing around too much.
2.) Magee just looks better right now
3.) Magee is being rewarded for having a good spring, good season and well, not getting into trouble.

Despite JC Copeland's goal line fumble, the running backs haven't been a problem. It's called having alot of talented depth at the position. Magee was beast mode against TAMU.

CM and FW seem to like it when a back runs tough...

he leads the team in carries for the yr (by a wide margin despite missing a game), and he led in the game Sat. we just play a lot of RBs.

Did you see McGee run? If it ain't broke, don't fix it. We beat A&M by 24 points. Whatever Miles did, it worked. Why even question it?

Magee just hits the holes faster and can still bounce it outside. Hill tries to bounce it as soon as the hole isn't a gaping one and is too slow to do so. He is a beast but it seems he is trying to hit a home run every time he gets the ball.

Magee was more effective quite simply

Not only does Hill lead the team in carries, he has more carries than Magee & Hilliard combined. I think the staff does a great job of parceling out carries to keep everyone fresh.

CLM doesn't want him around next year, so he's purposely pissing him off.
