Everyone doesn't. However it would not be surprising if LF wound up the season with the most carries. In three seasons, neither Magee or Hilliard have shown the ability to be a 20 carry per game type of back. Not saying they can't but it's yet to be proven. If you believe all four Tiger Backs get carries in every game, then it stands to reason their could be a wide variance in carries, like last year with Hill and Magee or they could be very close like the guys were bunched up in 2011.

I hope Fournette shows he can carry the load. But, this is led miles. #18 will play a bunch.

The only reason they were bunched up, we're because of suspension to Ware against Auburn. Before that game, he was averaging twice as many carries as Ford (#2 rusher). After Hilliard played good against Auburn, he got the lion's share until Bama.
