A look back at LSU’s football history with Wisconsin

Here’s the shared history between LSU and Wisconsin as the two prepare to meet again.

LSU is set to face Wisconsin in the ReliaQuest Bowl on New Year’s Day.

If the ReliaQuest Bowl doesn’t sound all that familiar to you, its because this was formerly known as the Outback Bowl.

This is just LSU’s second trip to this bowl game. The first one came on New Year’s Day in 2014, where [autotag]Jeremy Hill[/autotag] led LSU to a win behind his 216 yards and two touchdowns.

As for LSU’s history with Wisconsin, it’s also limited, but the two have faced each other twice in the last decade.

Let’s take a look back at the series before they meet in Tampa.

33 days till Patriots season opener: Every player to wear No. 33 for New England

Here’s a list of every Patriots player to wear the No. 33 jersey number

The New England Patriots are 33 days away from kick-starting their regular season opener against the Philadelphia Eagles. So we’re continuing our countdown series by listing every Patriots player that has ever worn the No. 33 jersey.

There have been a slew of talented players that have worn the No. 33 for the Patriots, including Dion Lewis, Leon Washington, Sam Gash, Tony Collins and Reggie Rucker.

Yet, when it comes to the Patriots, the most notable player to every wear that number throughout franchise history is former legendary running back Kevin Faulk. After being drafted out of LSU with a second-round pick, Faulk spent all 13 seasons of his NFL career playing in New England.

He left an indelible mark on the organization and its fan base with his contributions. That effort has earned him three Super Bowl titles, a New England Patriots Hall of Fame induction and being named to the All-Dynasty Team.

Let’s take a look at every player that has ever worn the No. 33 for the Patriots (via Pro Football Reference).

LSU has a strong claim as Running Back U, according to ESPN

The Tigers have had no shortage of talent in the backfield over the years.

Though arguably the most notable LSU grad playing in the NFL right now is a quarterback ([autotag]Joe Burrow[/autotag]), passing the ball has not exactly been the Tigers’ identity over the years.

Instead, this school has tended to produce talented running backs, and quite a few of them, at that. In ESPN’s annual Position U rankings, which use data since 1998 to determine which school has been the most successful in producing running back talent, LSU ranked third behind Alabama and Wisconsin.

It’s easy to see why. Between recent players like [autotag]Leonard Fournette[/autotag], [autotag]Clyde Edwards-Helaire[/autotag], [autotag]Derrius Guice[/autotag] and [autotag]Jeremy Hill[/autotag] and older ones like [autotag]Kevin Faulk[/autotag], there’s been no shortage of running back talent in Baton Rouge.

This season is no different. Despite having a potential All-SEC QB coming back in [autotag]Jayden Daniels[/autotag], this team has a loaded backfield with guys like [autotag]Josh Williams[/autotag], [autotag]Armoni Goodwin[/autotag], [autotag]Logan Diggs[/autotag], [autotag]Noah Cain[/autotag] and [autotag]John Emery Jr.[/autotag] — along with others.

The ground game looks like it will remain a key part of LSU’s offensive identity during the [autotag]Brian Kelly[/autotag] era.

Former Bengals RB Jeremy Hill retires from football

Jeremy Hill says goodbye.

[connatix div_id=”3f8b015acdd24c648befc5d5dac47469″ player_id=”afe1e038-d3c2-49c0-922d-6511a229f69c” cid=”7cbcea0d-4ce2-4c75-9a8d-fbe02a192c24″]

Former Cincinnati Bengals running back Jeremy Hill has officially announced his retirement from football.

Hill, a second-round pick by the Bengals out of LSU in 2014, rushed for 1,124 yards and nine touchdowns as a rookie and scored the lone touchdown in a playoff loss. The year after, he rushed for 11 scores before the now-infamous playoff fumble against the Steelers.

After the 2017 season, Hill joined New England for the Super Bowl win and in 2020 briefly joined the Raiders. He attempted a brief football comeback in late 2022 via the XFL before this announcement.

Hill shared the following caption on the post:

“Unfortunately due to the injuries I sustained September 9, 2018, I will no longer be pursuing my career in professional football, that’s right I’m retiring from the game that we all love so dearly, it’s been one hell of a journey and I wouldn’t have been close to enjoying it without my family specifically my Mother, my coaches and all the great teammates I was blessed to play with. Now the fun part of life starts for me but in the mean time I will be doing everything in my power to help the next generation in our game so we all can continue to enjoy our great sport for decades to come.”

Jeremy Hill picks Bengals vs. Saints, speaks on Bengals fans

Interesting thoughts from Jeremy Hill.

Cincinnati Bengals fans have a complicated relationship with former running back Jeremy Hill.

Hill, though, doesn’t think it’s all that complicated.

Tasked with picking the Bengals-Saints clash this weekend, Hill made it clear that he sides with his LSU guys.

Hill broke it down on 104.5 ESPN Baton Rouge (h/t Geoff Hobson of Bengals.com).

“I’m never picking against Joey B. That’s my guy and Ja’Marr (Chase) is one of the top five receivers in the league,” Hill said. “Even though I’ve got my guys Jarvis Landry and “The Honey Badger,” playing for the Saints, I’ve got to go with Joey B. That’s a bad boy right there.”

Hill admitted that the Saints have some LSU guys too, but not quite guys like Burrow and Chase.

And while Hill’s been under fire at times by Bengals fans in the past for comments and otherwise, he acknowledges that it’s all part of the game.

Hill said he’s on the fan side of the football factor now and totally understands any Bengals fans upset with him over the infamous playoff fumble or anything after that:

“Obviously that game couldn’t have ended any worse, especially for the fans who had been rooting for the Bengals for so long. If they have something they want to say to me, have at it. I have no issues with that. That comes with the game. Seeing the success they had last year, it’s great for the city and great for Joey and Ja’Marr. Look, I pick the Bengals to win the AFC again this year. I would like to see (running back) Joe Mixon get the running game going. I think that’d be a big help.”

It’s a cool bit of analysis and insight into Hill and where he’s at with Bengals fans after all the history there. And it sure doesn’t hurt to see he picks the Bengals to win not just against the Saints, but the AFC as a whole.

Jeremy Hill and former Bengals are thrilled team finally got a playoff win

Former players are happy the Bengals playoff drought is over.

[mm-video type=video id=01fsj3snrvrhb2qp9av1 playlist_id=none player_id=none image=https://images2.minutemediacdn.com/image/upload/video/thumbnail/mmplus/01fsj3snrvrhb2qp9av1/01fsj3snrvrhb2qp9av1-00a06db9d1679b1849a98b8f35394df7.jpg]

Former Cincinnati Bengals players are thrilled the team finally got over the postseason hump, got a win for the first time in 31 years and are on to the divisional round of the playoffs.

One of the biggest names celebrating the team’s win over the Las Vegas Raiders in the wild card round?

Former running back Jeremy Hill, whose infamous fumble in the 2015 playoff game against the Pittsburgh Steelers appeared to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. That’s chased him ever since, even despite his apologies.

Well…now all is forgiven after Joe Burrow and Co. have slammed through the curse:

Rest assured Hill isn’t the only former Bengals player feeling the hype.

In his first season without the Bengals, A.J. Green made sure to text his former teammates:

The man formerly known as Employee 96 was right there, too:

And those are just the known displays of relief and celebration from former players.

Former head coach Marvin Lewis was also publicly lobbying for the team to finally get that playoff win, too.

The funny thing now? It feels like these Burrow-led Bengals are just getting started:

Former LSU RB Jeremy Hill signing with Las Vegas Raiders

Hill has found his next NFL landing spot.

Former LSU running back Jeremy Hill is back in the NFL. He will reportedly sign with the Las Vegas Raiders, according to a tweet he posted this week.

Recently, Hill saw time for the Cincinnati Bengals and New England Patriots.

The Bengals selected Hill in the 2014 NFL Draft, and he spent four years with the team. Following his time in Cincinnati, Hill played for the New England Patriots, most recently in 2018.

Over the course of his career, Hill has rushed for 2,898 yards in 55 career games, averaging over four yards per carry with 29 career rushing touchdowns.

[lawrence-related id=9621]

As a rookie with the Bengals in 2014, Hill rushed for 1,124 yards on 222 carries with nine touchdowns.

His deal with the Raiders is pending once his physical and COVID-19 test results come in.

In 2018, Hill suffered a torn ACL, with the injury being the reason the former Tigers standout didn’t see the field during the 2019 NFL season.

The Raiders have Josh Jacobs as their starting running back, so it’s likely that Hill will compete for a back-up role with the team. Las Vegas took former Kentucky Wildcat Lynn Bowden Jr in the 2020 NFL draft, and veteran running back Jalen Richard is also on the team’s roster.

[lawrence-related id=9615]

At LSU from 2012-2013, Hill rushed for 2,156 yards on 345 carries for 28 touchdowns. He averaged 6.2 yards per rush during his time in Baton Rouge.

Though his time with the Patriots was short, Hill provides the Raiders with more depth and a strong workload at the position. Even in a backup role, the seventh-year tailback could help the team in crucial situations.

It will be interesting to see how defined of a role Hill has with the Raiders this season.

Report: Texans work out veteran RBs Jeremy Hill, Elijah McGuire

On Tuesday, the Houston Texans worked out free agent veteran running backs Jeremy Hill and Elijah McGuire.

The Houston Texans worked out veteran free agent running backs Jeremy Hill and Elijah McGuire on Tuesday, according to Aaron Reiss of The Athletic.

Per Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle, Hill’s work out went “very well.” However, the Texans did not sign him immediately.

Hill, 27, last played with the New England Patriots. He tore his ACL in Week 1 of the 2018 season — against the Texans — and was subsequently placed on the injured reserve. The LSU product rushed for 25 yards on four attempts before sustaining the season-ending injury.

Before New England, Hill called Cincinnati home. In four seasons with the Bengals, the 6-1, 230-pound tailback recorded 2,873 yards and 29 touchdowns on 704 attempts in 54 games( 43 starts). He finished his 2017 season on the injured reserve with an ankle injury.

McGuire, 25, was a New York Jets sixth-round pick in 2017 out of Louisiana-Lafayette. In 24 games as a rotational cog in the New York backfield, the 5-10, 214-pound back rushed for 591 yards and four touchdowns on 180 attempts.

McGuire spent half of his 2018 campaign on the injured reserve (foot). The Jets released him on Aug. 31, before the Cleveland Browns added him to the practice squad. The Browns waived him on Oct. 22.

Houston, in 2019, has employed a two-headed rushing attack in Carlos Hyde and Duke Johnson. On the year, the two have combined for 231 touches for 1,241 scrimmage yards and six touchdowns.
