I mean, you can juke stats however you want, broseph. Yeldon ran for 120+ against 5 SEC west opponents. Hill did against 3. Hill disappeared in losses to 2 SEC West opponents. Yeldon ran for 141 and a TD in Bama's loss. See? Just thought "leagues better" should be looked at closer.

Hill:
Against top-25 teams: 5.81 ypc, 52 att 4 TD
Road games: 6.01 ypc, 7 TD
Home games: 7.67 ypc, 9 TD
vs Winning teams: 6.20 ypc, 10 TD
1st half of games: 6.99 ypc, 10 TD
2nd half of games: 6.79 ypc, 6 TD
Winning by 15+: No stats (Magee got those carries, 5 games)
4th quarter: 6.39 ypc, 3 TD, 38 attempts

Yeldon:
Against top-25 teams: 5.32 ypc, 93 att 5 TD
Road games: 5.77 ypc, 6 TD
Home games: 6.27 ypc, 8 TD
vs Winning teams: 5.7 ypc, 7 TD
1st half of games: 5.32 ypc, 8 TD
2nd half of games: 6.71 ypc, 6 TD
Winning by 15+: 7.27 ypc, 4 TD, 217 yards
4th quarter: 4.87 ypc, 1 TD, 47 attempts

Pretty obvious that Hill was much better. I don't even have to mention fumbling problems. Alabama has the better RBs this season, but last season, it wasn't close.

ETA: For the record, I don't disagree with you bmy. 2013 Hill > 2013 Yeldon, but 2012 Yeldon > 2012 Hill. So a push overall. But I'm laughing at your "wasn't close" notion when it was obvious LSU's OL did a much better job than Bama's, and on top of that LSU's passing game averaged more yards per attempt than Bama's.
