One of the bigger “what-if’s” for the 2018 season is what Justice Hill with more carries would have looked like.
The 2018 season was an uneven mess for the Cowboys. Inexplicably, Hill wasn’t used by Gundy and offensive coordinator Mike Yurcich as a dynamic playmaker typically is used.
It was expected that Hill would average 20 carries per game. In six games, he had no more than 15 carries.
It was expected that Hill would get a regular-season total of at least 1,400 yards. Instead, he didn’t even get 1,000. Because of injuries, he got only five attempts in Bedlam and did not play against West Virginia or at TCU.
