I agree we didnt see much of him in 2nd half (if at all). I just think Magee had the hot hand then lead was so large we gave Blue some work. In general, I think Hill has been featured way more than any other back in the Miles era. (seemingly in my mind at least)


IDK, it seems weird to me... I cant think off top of my head what other premier player sits on the bench for the second string guy.

Nobody else after reading this thread seems to know either... all you get is "well, you les miles haters have to find something to bitch about after a big win"
No, its just a confusing why your best back gets less carries than your 2nd, 3rd and fourth teamers combinded.
And far is we know its not bc of injury.

Well, they're not wrong. Hill had the most carries still, but Magee had an incredible game and was clearly the hot hand. Oh yea, and we beat the shite out of our opponent. So, yeah, it clearly is just looking for ANYTHING to bitch about. Do you really care who gets the most yards when we beat a top 10 opponent by 24?

probably goes something like this

Miles sits down with Hill and asks him about his future. Hill says he is going pro. Miles tells him that he will save him in games if he is not needed to look out for his future.

Magee the hot hand got fed the ball. Les Miles learned from the 2007 Kentucky game that you have to get a hot guy involved in the offense in both halves. There, I spun it for you in a way where Les actually corrected a previous mistake he has made. Look at him evolving into a more complete coach.

TJ Yeldon, whose carries and yards are essentially identical to Hill's. For that matter, any Alabama starting running back over the past five years?
