Here’s a list of running backs with more rushing yards than Wyoming’s Brian Hill this season: LSU’s Leonard Fournette. Ohio State’s Ezekiel Elliott. Oregon’s Royce Freeman. San Jose State’s Tyler Ervin.
Hill is fifth in the nation in rushing yards with 797 and stopping him is objective No. 1 when the Wolf Pack plays at Wyoming on Saturday. Hill broke on the scene last season, rushing for 796 yards as a true freshman and he’s already surpassed that total halfway through his sophomore campaign.
“He’s a bruiser but at the same time he’ll run right past you,” Nevada running back Don Jackson said.
