Dude's going to take a step back next year. Split time with Blue, Hilliard and maybe Brazil. Then take off for the draft. It's how things work and will always work with Miles. I hate to say it, but if Fournette actually wants to make an impact, he should go to Bama. CLM likes rotating backs too much for any to shine.

you must've been watching LSU since 2011 then, becasue that's not Miles's trend. Ridley, Hester, Scott, Addai were all workhorse RBs for us. In 2011 it was Ware/Ford and Blue would finish games after we got the lead. Hilliard wasn't even playing until Ware had his suspension. This year, they tried Hill becasue every other RB had issues getting into the end zone. Hill looked beastly and got the lion's share of the carries from the SCAR game on.

If Fournette were to goto Bama, look at the depth chart there. They will have 7 RBs all within 2 years of each other. LSU was very lucky to have the backfield we did the past couple years, but I expect you will see LSU move back to having a legit starter that gets the majority of carries, similar to Miles's first 6 years as HC.
