Justice Hill’s performance against Kansas State resulted in no movement in any of these lists (which seems fitting given what we watched on Saturday).

Hill’s 41 yards keeps him 116 yards from tying Tatum Bell, who sits seventh on OSU’s all-time rushing list.

Saturday was the first time since OSU’s meeting with Texas last season where Hill didn’t score a rushing touchdown.
