Williams is our best running back.

You're kidding right? Hill might a potential NFL starting RB. Williams is good, but no where near the talent of Hill.
More powerful, quickness, elusiveness, hands are probably better. Areis is a better pass blocker but that's it. Hill is the total package.
Williams has far better vision and always gets positive yardage. I don't know how you say one's hands are better than the other.
Aeris is the better blocker, and a RB must be able to block in this offense. Hill will get there, but he still needs more experience to get better at it. To be perfectly honest, Nick Gibson looked pretty good on one of his runs tonight.
I may be alone here but EVERY time Nick Gibson gets an opportunity to make a play he makes it. I really like him as a player. Very “Mississippi State”, hard-working guy.
Hill always gets the maximum yards out of his carries. He dishes out plenty of punishment, too. My only complaint about Hill's running is that he seems to bounce things outside a bit too quickly, while Williams has no problem cutting inside. Hill's blocking is awful, though.
Perhaps in straight running and pass pro yes. He has helped the pass protection a lot. Hill has more explosiveness and is better out of the backfield and on the edge. I might give Williams the edge on the inside, but we rarely see hill get a carry to the inside. I was hoping to see more running back handoffs in the redzone tonight. Happy to see wr and rb being involved in the pass but running backs have very few rushing touchdowns this year. That’s a disappointment.
Hill is faster, has more acceleration, more power, and can catch the ball better. Aeris can block better, which as a 5th year senior he should be able to. That’s pretty much it.
If you have talent and play in the SEC the NFL will find you
If nothing else his legs will be a year fresher than the rest of the NFL eligible backs. If he finishes strong and is good enough at the combine then he'll still play on Sunday's, if he isn't he won't.

Williams actually has a slightly better average per carry on the year, and that's with Hill's great games against KSU, in which Williams didn't play.
Hill is more feast or famine, while Williams is a more consistent runner. Hill has more big play potential, but our passing game is much better with Williams in there, instead of Hill whiffing on blocks.
I think Williams is better because we're a more complete team with him.
Um isn’t that exactly what you said in your original post? Or almost exactly?
“Williams is better and there’s no debate?”
“Williams is better and there’s no debate?”
He's not clueless but it's the weak part of his game. He's also a true soph and Aries is a 5th year (I think) Sr. Either way he's got 2 or 3 years on Hill, so he better be better at blocking.
