OSU football journal: Cowboys know Justice Hill needs more carries

STILLWATER — Oklahoma State offensive coordinator Mike Yurcich knows the numbers, and he doesn't like them.

Forty-six carries through four games for his star running back, Justice Hill.

“That's not enough for a great player,” Yurcich said. “Gotta be more touches.”

Hill has been productive behind sketchy offensive line play. He has 388 rushing yards and five touchdowns, averaging 97.0 yards per game and 8.4 per carry. Yet he has averaged only 11.5 rushing attempts per game.

Hill had 111 yards on 12 carries in last week's loss against Texas Tech, but seven of his 12 carries went for 3 yards or less.
