Amazing accomplishment. Hopefully he can stay healthy and make it to the bye week intact, he looked physically exhausted last night.

Watched ESPN all morning...

Not a single mention of him. For shame.

Incredible performance from this young man.

Excited to watch this kid's career. Get him a line and look out.

Something that has been overshadowed by Hill's performance, but needs to be mentioned, is the performance of Tapscott. He looked pretty solid in his first game with more than one carry. Nice compact little back.

Hopefully with Bohl's system in place, we can just plug backs in and see this type of production.

Yeah, short of another MWC player shattering old records, Hill was the shoe-in to be MWC OP of the Week.

I don't think Wyoming will be hurting at the RB position for several years with the RB recruit we have coming in next year and what we already have.
