re: What will be Magee's role going forward in 2014? *updated*

Why are people so confident that Fournette will just come in and push Magee to the side? He's a backup because of Hill who is probably the most talented LSU RB for quite some time.

I don't believe this, just explaining why people think that.

1. Several national recruiting people have said that the only running back to come out of high school with this much hype was Adrian Peterson. They clarified that that doesn't mean he is a similar player or they expect that kind of production from him.

2. People here have heard the first part of number one and didn't hear or ignored the predicate part.

3. People here have googled Purple Jesus and discovered that he overtook presumptive junior starter Kejuan Jones who rushed for 925 yards the previous season. This is why they are confident he will come in and play.

4. Purple Jesus then ran for 1,925 yards on 339 carries for about 5.7 yards per carry and 15 touchdowns as freshman. This is why people are confident he will be the crusher of worlds.

5. People put all this together and just assume he will be purple and gold Jesus.

None of this is likely to happen because LSU is never that lucky. Also, McKnight, Joe. Let's hope he comes in and can give us, let's say, 2011 Kenny Hilliard production and go from there.
