Just out of curiosity, who is the next back up with the Hilliard injury?

With Hilliard out I'm pretty sure Fournette, McGee and Williams will get the vast majority of the carries (with the QB(s) likely getting a few).

But is there someone on the depth chart after those 3 who might get a carry or two?

I don't think so. I would like to see Melvin Jones get a couple snaps at tailback instead of fullback.

Why? He is not an SEC tailback.

He's huge and I want to see somebody get trucked by 6-2 250

i would guess if they have to go to a 4th option at RB they would just use QB designed runs at that point

We only have the three. I am fine with that. That is the least of our problems.

That didn't seem to be the case against Alabama

We may be currently called DBU, but look at the number of RBs we have every year. If these guys were at, say, a Big Ten school, they'd be putting up sick numbers as a feature back.

Luckily for us, LSU has good success in the NFL and kids will come to a school where they share time.

Nope

You watch the Spring game? Jones lined up at tailback.

Melvin Jones was a hell of running QB in high school. They ran alot of spread option. He ran for 1200yds.
