No way McGee would get that many more than LF/KH
If they go that route it would be more evenly split more of a 20/15/15 split

So you seem to have contradicted everything you just said since you basically say here that they will all get equal carries.

We are going to run a lot of zone read and option.
Y'all need to get ready for an offense that runs the qb a lot.

Maybe

We don't even know which QB will be starting, everyone expects Jennings because he started the bowl game but they have Rettig who was a 4* and Harris coming in.

I forgot about the reed option
so if read option
50 carries will be split
10 AJ
20 TM
12 LF
8 KH
LF is a freshman he isn't going to be ready to get the majority of carries in his first game against a good team. TM will get carries because he is the veteran of the group and the best veteran (between TM and KH).

Hell no.
Magee starts as he should.

he will get significant carries in his first game btw you suspect. I'll explain myself LSU has no depth at running back, TM and KH are decent running backs but they don't have top RB skill. LF is potentially a very good top in the country RB. He may be young he may not be patient at times but there is no way TM and KH are going to be enough to be a running threat against Wisconsin. This is a different situation then when JH came in we had running backs that were a threat that could create themselves, I don't believe TM and KH are this. LF must get carries early because we just don't have that much skill outside of him at the RB position. I don't think he gets the most carries in the game but he sees a good bit at-least 10
Did you watch Magee run this year?
Posted on 1/14/14 at 8:24 am to JAComo
Magee was at times feast or famine, he had some very good runs but at times he was bottled up and got nothing. TM was good this year because he was a change of pace back, you don't as a defense prepare for TM as much as you do for JH.

Clearly he did not.
Terrance Magee had higher YPC than Hill did and had half the number of TDs with only 42% as many carries. Doesn't come close to meaning that Magee is better than Hill, but Magee is a fricking solid RB.
Posted on 1/14/14 at 8:26 am to JAComo
Magee averaged over 7 ypc this year. He has all of spring practice to win te job. LF is coming to school in the fall; IMO, he won't have time to come in and take that spot away, unless Magee and KH just aren't playing well.
He'll get his carries and I believe he'll be the starting RB by the end of the season. I'd just be surprised if he got that role by the first game.

What makes you think Magee is a change of pace back?
He is a 5'11 220 pd boulder who pounds people. He runs about a 4.55
To me change of pace makes me think of some little speedster like trindon

magee is good but he isn't a load carrying RB. Just because he ran this well this year as the backup doesn't mean he will run well when defenses can prepare for him and know what is coming.

He looked me in the eyes a few years back. Maybe it was the shoes? I'm 5'11

maybe its wrong to say change of pace, but he is a different type of running back the JH.
I'll I'm saying is I don't know if TM can be an every down type running back, which he would need to be if LF gets a minimal load to start the season. LSU has a long history of backs who started out great but the next year his production for some reason goes down. I hope and don't think TM will do that but once he gets more carries his production won't be as good.
but enough about TM all I'm saying is I don't have enough confidence in TM and KH to let LF slowly get carries. If we want to have a good year we need LF to come in and play well off the bat, because our offense will struggle if we don't get an RB going, LF is essential in that success.

Comments like this don't make any sense. If you're a good RB, you're a good RB. Magee has nice size to him and has breakaway speed. He definitely has the tools to be a good RB. Give him 12-15 carries a game and he will run just as effectively as he did as a "backup".
