I'm sorry for any kid that thinks he will be a one man rushing attack for LSU. It hasn't happen and never will as long as Miles is head coach. I think it's a good thing but sometimes he never feeds a back when he needs to I.e. Clemson, Ole Miss, Auburn.


Maybe he doesn't feed a back every time, but neither does Saban (against Oklahoma) and Malzahn (against LSU). Malzahn didn't start featuring Mason til late in the season. Marshall didn't start running more til late in the season.

Also Hester was a feature back, Scott was a feature back, Ridley was a feature back, and Hill was a feature back. Hell, Ware was a feature back before he got suspended. He was avg 21 carries a game, then was suspended for Auburn, Hilliard balled out and after that, Ware only had 2 games over 8 atts for the rest of the season. It was actually better for the team considering he only averaged 4.0 ypc.

Hester 225 Williams 70
Scott 217 Williams 83
Ridley 249 Ford 45
Hill 203 Magee 86

His comments weren't referring to being an every down back, but it's still worth noting that there are benefits to not getting ALL of the carries.
