For Justice Hill and the Cowboys, expectations are (mostly) off and the target will be on other backs in 2018.
Hill ran for 1,467 yards and 15 touchdowns as a sophomore, and Gundy expects those numbers to increase this year. Though he will be the featured offensive threat, Hill likes that the Cowboys aren’t getting as much preseason hype as they have in the past.
“I like it way better,” he said. “When you’re at the top, you can get a sense of complacency sometimes. When you’re at the bottom, you’ve always got that underdog mentality — you’re hungry to go prove everybody wrong.
