It's totally up to Faulk, Blackwell, Lonergan, Williford, Hurst, Shaw, T-Bob and Clement. They will ultimately decide the outcome of this game.
If Ware takes away a bunch of carries from Hilliard, it will be very concerning for me. At the end of the season, Hilliard had obviously taken over as our power back. Ware was pretty much useless in that Bama game and we constantly were put in 2nd and 9 and 3rd and long situations. The middle of that Bama D is the best part of the defense and we will have to give it our best shot getting those grind it out yards, and that's clearly Mr. Hilliard. I love Ware to death, but if he carries it 13 times for 21 yards, we could be doomed offensively. In the first meeting he had 16 carries for 29 yards.
