Whether or not Kylin Hill and Aeris Williams make a resurgence

Joe Moorhead has mentioned that the Bulldogs should make a greater effort to get the ball to both Aeris Williams and Kylin Hill. Luke Getsy, on the other hand, said that the Bulldogs would only do this if it was “advantageous.”

Given how much talent the Mississippi State football team has at running back, it seems like it would be advantageous to give the ball to the running backs more often than not. The duo of Hill and Williams provides a versatile and powerful one-two-punch at running back.

The Bulldogs have the talent in the backfield to run the ball on everyone. With Moorhead mentioning one thing and Getsy the other, what can we really expect from MSU’s running back duo this weekend?

Hopefully we will see plenty of rushing yards and touchdowns. I’m not going to hold my breath on that just yet though.
