Hill is an awesome running back, but from what I remember last year, Blue was even better before the injury. Either way, we'll see a lot of both.


If blue wouldn't have been hurt, hill would never have really been given a chance to start.

Had blue, ford, and ware ahead of him.

Just shows that the most talented player sometimes doesn't get to play over the more senior players. Can't say that much with miles players though. Lots of younger players play.

This was the exact issue we were in in 2003 when Justin Vincent and Ally Broussard were running 3rd and fourth behind Shy Carey and Joe Addai. it took both of those guys going down before JV and Ally got significant touches against USCe on the road, and the rest is history.

I love Blue, and since we share the same Alama Mater I am certainly pulling for the guy to have a great year and have a solid shot at making it in the NFL. That being said, Hill looked like a different level back when he finally got touches last year. If it's based on merit alone, I'd be surprised if Hill doesn't overtake him again.

You just blew up your entire argument with that one statement.
