Hill is our best RB besides Blue, without a doubt. Hes on a diff level than all our RB except Blue. He might be 5-10lbs lighter than Hilliard, but hes faster than all our RBs except Ford. On his 50yd TD, if it was Hilliard he would of been caught. Ive noticed that sometimes this season with Kenny, getting caught from behind in the open fied. The combo for next season with Blue and Hill could be our best RB duo in a long time. Very excited for Hill and loved how hard he played last night. In high school, 1 of the only knocks on the kid was that he took some plays off. That immediately got erased from my mind when Mett threw that INT and Jeremy Hill busted his arse running across the field to make the tackle. Looks like hes grown up a lot since high school and I cant wait to watch him grow even more at LSU. The kid has persevered a lot in the past few years and the future looks very bright for him!

Both have good feet and lateral movement, but Hill has homerun speed, and thats the difference. Glad we got em both!!

Hilliard really disappointed me by not getting in the end zone on that one play.


Chit can happen to any player, but I had that TD on the score board when I saw the hole and how close he was to the EZ.

I was shocked when he got stood up, stopped, and driven back.

I was a Hill doubter coming into the season because playing against him through high school he wasn't a very hard runner. He's definitely picked up some toughness and played lights out last night.

Also played against Hilliard his junior/senior year and thought he was by far the better of the 2 but for some reason I haven't seem the explosiveness from Hilliard. He's in much better shape from last season but he looks timid from those fumbles.

But either way I'm glad we have the RBs we have just have to figure out ways to get all of them touches in ways that fit their style without being predictable.
