re: Why does everyone assume Fournette will get more touches than Magee?

Go back and watch the Spring Game and pay attention to Magee and Hilliard running the ball. They did not look good running the ball imo. Maybe that was because of the blocking, vanilla playcalling, etc, but after I watched that game, I began thinking we were going to NEED Fournette this year.

Maybe things have changed during Fall Camp. I know Miles has heaped praise on both Magee and Hilliard this Fall. I think that may be his way of dialing back expectations on Fournette after calling him Michael Jordan, etc. I'm also just waiting to see it on Hilliard. He's had his flashes at times, but he just looks too slow hitting the hole to me. Maybe he puts it all together but I'll believe it when I see it.

Look at our carries for RB last year:

Hill - 203
Magee - 86
Blue - 71
Hilliard - 68
Copeland - 13

I think all three backs see significant carries this year, but I expect Fournette to take over the job by midseason a la J.Hill in 2012 and finish somewhere around 185 carries.

Here's how I think it will break down this year:

Fournette - 185
McGee - 125
Hilliard - 85
Williams - 30
