With everyone healthy, how do we get him on the field enough to maximize chance to make a difference. He is playing with a 6 year chip on his shoulders and has everything to prove. Athletically he is not Baron Browning. But he is the superior athlete over Borland. And is a more physical presence then Werner. His INT potential saved our season. NW was about to go up double digits on is mid way through the 3rd quarter. Can easily see a scenario where we abandoned the run and play right into what Fitzgerald had hoped for by forcing Fields into mistakes.
Hilliard has the size, speed, and instincts to dominate by not missing tackles and preventing big plays out of the backfield . Precisely the kind of plays that Clemson used to beat us last time. Passes to Etienne. Lawrence on scrambles and boots. Crossing patterns in the short to intermediate range.
How do we get this guy his chance to shine on the big stage? Who does he take time away from?
