STILLWATER, Okla. -- So much went right for Oklahoma State running back Justice Hill against Baylor.And yet, so much went wrong.The true freshman ran for 122 yards and a touchdown in his first career start last Saturday and was named Big 12 Newcomer of the Week. It was the most yards rushing for an Oklahoma State freshman since 2009.His fumbles were costly, especially his second one. With Baylor holding onto a 28-24 lead in the fourth quarter, he lost the ball at the Baylor 2-yard line, and the Bears took over with 9:12 to play. Baylor went on to win 35-24.Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy said Hills talent and approach to the game have earned him another chance, starting with Saturdays game against No. 22 Texas.He made enough plays for us to justify letting him carry the ball, Gundy said. If youre asking me because he fumbled, what are we going to do, were going to give him the ball and let him run again.That doesnt mean Hill escaped criticism.Im a big Justice Hill fan, but he has to take care of the football, Gundy said. They dont stop and say, `Youre a true freshman, were going to give you that one back. They all count.On his first fumble, Hill lost the ball near midfield in the second quarter, and Baylor recovered with the score tied at 14.I understand hes a true freshman, and we want him carrying the ball, Gundy said. The first fumble he had, I have to give credit to Baylors defender because he was in there deep and reached hard and pulled and was very good in whatever theyve coached him to do. The second time, hes fighting for extra yards. Those are learning experiences for him.Hill, at just 171 pounds, has emerged from a crowded group as the main back. Rennie Childs has six touchdowns this season and is second on the team in carries and yards. Jeff Carr, Chris Carson and Barry J. Sanders all get carries, too.Hill got 20 carries against Baylor after getting 24 the first three games combined. He showed his burst when he got to the corner on a 38-yard run the play before his fourth-quarter fumble. Hes quick and can absorb contact, despite his relatively small frame.Texas allows 150.7 yards rushing per game, fourth in the Big 12, and 3.6 yards per carry. The Longhorns have just one fumble recovery this season.Gundy doesnt see the fumbles as an issue going forward, and he doesnt believe they will shake Hills confidence.Hes an intelligent young man, Gundy said. He comes from a good home. Hes been raised the right way, so constructive criticism isnt something hes going to shy away from.---Follow Cliff Brunt on Twitter (at)CliffBruntAP Cheap NBA Jerseys China .
