Hey all,

I know we all want and assume Hill will shatter the rushing record at UW in a career.

Flip side, Shaun Wick is 9th all-time. How high do you think he can climb this year? 4th/5th? better or worse?

Depends...but I can see him getting close to the top 3. Wick, with about 10 touches a game, can get around 600 yards this year IMO.

This will be a hot take, but if the offense can stay on the field, I wouldn't rule out Wick closing his career No. 2 on the list.

In Bohl's first year, Wick finished with 753 yards. While I expect Hill to get more than the 796 he had as a freshman, I think overall the team will be the best we've seen. That means closer games in the second half which means more rushing opportunities.

Realistically though, I still think he can finish his career 4th behind Hill, Moore and Christopherson.

I bet Wick ends up at #4 behind the great Wynel Seldon. Wick has had an awesome career.

Technically that would be at 5, unless you don't expect Brian Hill to get the 245 yards needed to pass Seldon.

He will definitely get his shares of carries playing in a bohl style offense. If they can maintain offensive drives and keep himself on the field I could see him quickly moving up that list.
I'm good for 3!
