Do we run any formations that would call for JH & LF on together?

Or are their advantages to putting that into the offense? Is it just enough to alternate them keeping them fresh throughout the game?

Yeah. Hill at RB and Fournette in the slot. You could do all kinds of things.

Yes, there is a formation with 2 RBs in the shotgun. Used it with Magee and Hill some this season.

Running some triple option out of an I would be fun with Hill at QB, Hilliard at FB, and Fournette at TB.

Did Hill play any QB in HS?

We've run shotgun formations with 2 RBs, 2 WRs and a TE

And I'll bet there's some under center formations with the same line up (NOT an I-form play, that's got a FB)

So yeah we can get them on the field together

Could help draw more men into the box for the play action. May open up something like a speed sweep depending on how the D lines up to it. But that's not until after we have spent lots of time running the ball with each guy blocking for the other while there are better blockers elsewhere to be placed in the backfield for that reason. And then you have one of those two 'fresh' at all times, which is a much more dangerous option than probably the majority of misdirection we could run with those two in at once (we aren't much of a misdirection team in the running game).

I'm a little afraid of some of the Triple Option (not all the time, just a few times a game) LSU can do with AJ at QB and Hill/LF in the backfield.

might want to worry about Hill staying before you jump the gun

Yeah, It's called unstoppable.

Basically, the way it works is you give the ball to either guy and the defense tries to stop them.

Abasolutely, we had plays with Hill/Magee, Blue/Magee, and I think Hill/Hilliard. I think a lot of these were pass plays but that is a MF having to commit to defending JH33 and LF7 on opposite sides of the play...

both have good hands so it would be a possibility that LF could shift into an H-back position for quick screens and drags. shite...just get the ball in his hands quickly and let everybody else smack somebody.

I would hope so.

Putting two RBs in the game on the same play would revolutionize the game!

We ran a lot of 2 back sets last year because we had problems protecting the qb. So yes we will see it. Even saw it a few times this year.
