Chasing History: Justice Hill Moves to Seventh on OSU’s All-Time Rushing List

Published

on

After Oklahoma State’s disappointing loss in Waco on Saturday, Justice Hill moved up to seventh on the Cowboys’ all-time rushing list.

Hill’s 119 rushing yards against Baylor pulled him to 3,504 for his career. Hill is 276 yards behind sixth-place Ernest Anderson and 293 yards behind Barry Sanders. With OSU’s bowl hopes uncertain, Hill would have to average about 98 yards a game in OSU’s final three to pass Sanders.

Name Yards Years Active
Thurman Thomas 5,001 1984-87
Terry Miller 4,754 1974-77
David Thompson 4,318 1993-96
Kendall Hunter 4,181 2007-10
Barry Sanders 3,797 1986-88
Ernest Anderson 3,780 1979-83

Tatum Bell 3,409 2000-03
Joseph Randle 3,085 2010-12
Gerald Hudson 2,924 1988-90

Hill finally got off the 28-touchdown mark, which he’d been stuck on since the Iowa State game.

He is still five touchdowns away from Tatum Bell and Jeremy Smith, who are tied in sixth on OSU’s all-time list.

Hill was handed the ball only 18 times against Baylor, which gave him a minor bump in career yards per carry. Hill is still .09 yards per carry away from 1988-90 running back Gerald Hudson, who is in seventh place on OSU’s all-time list.
