Challenging Neal is not a hard thing to do for Hill. He has what Neal lacks.....willingness to grind out the tough yards. Neal is very fast, but has never consistently embraced the toughness required to be a top rb. Neal is more of a 3rd down back IMHO but we don't have anyone else to turn to.
ESPN.com gave the guy 2 stars coming out of high school and ranked him as the nation's No. 99 runningback.
In hindsight, it might be one of the few recruiting gems that Dooley uncovered. He isn't going to have to do much to exceed expectations and if spring ball is any real indication, he's going to play a big role in the UT offense this season. I don't think it's inconceivable that he could challenge Neal in the rotation in fall camp.
