Hill
203 CAR
1401YDS
16 TDs
6.9 YPC

Magee
86 CAR
626 YDS
8 TDs
7.2 YPC

And of course Fournette.

Trying not to be a homer, but which team will be as good or even better in the backfield than us?

Bama, Wisconsin and UGA would be the only comparables.

Don't forget about my boy Kenny Hilliard, wouldn't mind seeing him transition to fullback, I think he could work out quite well for us at that position.

Bama is pretty solid. You could pair pretty much anyone with Henry and it would be a monster.

I think Hill has to be in consideration for the best back in the country at the start of the year. And if Buga really is an AP/Marcus Lattimore type of Freshman, we'll be up there

Agreed.


I believe LSU has the potential to be one of the top three in the SEC.

Hope Kenny moves to FB, hope LF7 and Hill split carries I don't want to see Magee unless necessary He's a great kid and played good this year but every carry he gets means your taking one away from the Dynamic Duo

Poor Badgers. They will be the first victim of the two-headed monster that is Hill and Fournette

I think he gets some PT at FB next year also. He has always looked good at FB. So, yes we will have the best backfield in the nation!

I was just trying to figure out who would be the best RB in next years draft provided Hill keeps on truckin? He and Gurley will be up there. Who else?

I'm excited about 1. Hill continuing to bust the big runs
and 2. Less pressure on LF and not missing a beat when Hill goes to NFL.

I listened to people complain at games last year about Magee getting carries...just look at the guys production. How can you possibly complain about him getting carries ever?
