If Hill stays we have a chance at 2 - 1,000 yd rushers. Just like having 2 - 1,000 yd recievers this past season.

Hill doesn't get nearly the credit he deserves. I don't know if it's because of the perception of his character or what - but to me, he's virtually the second coming of Cecil Collins as a runner. He is a bulldozer who consistently breaks long runs. My favorite backs were always Dalton Hilliard and Faulk, but I think I'd take Hill over both. Ingram's struggles in the NFlL are a clear indication that he had a lot of help at Bama.

This will be better than Ingram/Richardson. ..I'd say Jones/McFadden or Williams/Brown good. Those are the two best duos in the SEC in the past 15 years. IMO

You're an idiot. Ingram is so overrated. Now Richardson may be a close competition.

Mr. Fournette is a man of his word. He is not the decommiting type.

I think people were so impressed with Trent's bench press that anything he did behind an All-American OL made him look better.

Mark was a better one-cut runner in college with better vision. Trent was stronger and faster that's it.

I think some comparisons between Hill and Richardson can be drawn, with Richardson being a better/stronger "physical specimen".

Yes, that OL made Richardson look better. But he's got open field moves, and if he can't make you miss most of the time he made you regret not missing.

Hill, some of the same... but it looks different somehow; can't quite put my finger on it. You're not going to arm tackle either of them. Richardson either ran you over, made a move, or got tackled. Hill seems to slide past you (rather than make a move) or nail you then go another direction (as opposed to drive the tackler).

ETA: Sean Alexander was the best all around back I've ever seen at Bama. He's their Kevin Faulk.

Trent never showed up against good competition.

LSU made him quit. He lost to us as the starter in 2011 9-6. Ingram the year before was the savior and Yeldon in Trent's last year.

Hill always plays well against them though. Can't help the fact that the Oline didn't get on the field in the second half this year.

That is it.
With 2 great backs a sprained ankle doesn't mean we lose a game and possibly a NC. 2 fresh backs in LF and Hill ,the SEC will fear this duo, they will complement each other. After next year its a LF feature back, enjoy next year , 2 backs like this may never be on the same LSU team again.Cant have too many great players. Its all good
