West wasn't clearly better until later in in Jr. year. I think it took him awhile to get in shape to really take more of the load. His Sr. year West was a beast.
You also have to remember that Olivo was a cult hero and was the first player of the Larry Smith era to capture the imagination of the fan base.
Olivo's Sr. year we had an awesome running attack. Olivo, West, Jones and Blackwell all rushed for over 500 yards and each had an average yards/rush of over 4 yards/carry.
Blackwell was the best of them all IMO (RIP).
