The only knock I have on Hill this year is that with the exception of the first quarter of Auburn he hasn't really seemed to take over a game.

Sure he has had some good runs, but he just hasn't really wowed me at the end of a game.

However, I suspect this has more to do with play calling and coaches playing other guys sporadically.

This is what saddens me as an LSU fan. The guy leads the nation in TDs and is second in rushing. Yet people aren't "wowed" enough. GTFO.

Do you not remember the UF game? He closed it out in the last two drives with carries 11, 7, 26, 1, 10, 2, 7. That's 64 yards on his 7 carries against the #2 ranked run defense. No other RB cam close.

His 4th quarter against UGA were 5, 2 (for a 1st down), 1, 8 (TD run) which is 16 on 4 carries and a TD.

His 4th quarter against MSU was 5 (TD run), 0, 20, 7 which is 32 yards on 4 carries and a TD.

He doesn't need to wow because he is not the closer. He usually does his dirt in about two quarters while Miles switches running backs out like a sporadic monkey.
