    Loved the job Hester did saturday.The guy never gives up on a run,never goes out of bounds to escape a tackle"quite the contrary,he likes to go head down into linebackers"and now seems like he is gaining some explosivness ou t of the backfeild.Not to mention he is clutch on recptions.The way I see it if you need a first down there's not another back in the nation I would rather give it to to get the first.

    I love to watch him too, he is so athletic and loves to finish the run putting someone on their ass.

    Agree. It loves to punish someone on the end of the run. This guy is overall great player. Runs hard, blocks well, and can catch out of the backfield.

    He's getting to the point where it looks as if he likes to hit as hard as Laron. I've seen a few defenders just shaking their heads lately--after THEY'VE been hit while tackling Hester.

    He's a tough player and is turning into a great RB.

    You could let him loose at the anual running of the bulls and I guarantee he would end up killing someone.

    He's a tuff player with a great attitude. I've been sticking up for this guy all season. The way people were talking at the beginning of the year you would have though Miles put three Heisman Trophy winners on the bench to give his half retarded nephew the ball.

    Hard to believe earlier in the year some people were doubting whether or not he is SEC cailber.

    Hester's versatility makes him so valuable. It's hard to not take notice of what he's accomplished this year.

    This guy may be short on talent (which is not as much the case as some might think), but very very long on heart and determination.

    I agree, 3rd and short needs to go to Hester, not Broussard. I hope thats what we see in the Arkansas game.

    Running back evaluation has not been a strong suit of this coaching staff this season. I just hope they see the light in time to beat Arkansas and win the bowl game.

    Run Williams like a horse. Hester on 3rd down plays (short and long). Easy winning formula. Gives us our best chance to win. Anybody else used sparingly.
