I plan to keep updating this list throughout the season, similar to what I did two years ago on the basketball board with the Dunk Meter.

Amazing. Easily the best RB corps in Wyo history?

Thunder and Lightning was pretty good.
I think it might be hard to say Wick and Hill are the best simply because they haven't had too much together, and lots of losses to start their career together.

But if last night was any sign of things to come this season, I think they can (and will) surpass Demo and Seldon.

Not easily, as others have said, Moore and Seldon are tough to beat. But these 2 are definitely up there

In Seldon and Moore's 30 games where they both played (Moore sat out a lot early, especially as a freshman), they broke 200 4 times, so around one every 8 games, and averaged a combined 143. In Hill's 18 games since Wick broke his hand and Brian took over, he has gone over 200 5 times, or about once every 4 games, and has averaged 139 alone.

Sorry for deleting my comment. I wasn't happy with how it came across. :)
I do think Hill has the luxury of getting better blocking from the line than Seldon and Moore did, even if I think he is better than either one as an individual player.

Haha I actually liked how you put it, with the Gretzky bros being the best NHL scoring family. I agree that Hill is the best (easily) but I'm not as sold that him and Wick are easily #1 combo

This might sound crazy, but who does Brian Hill remind you of in looks? To me, he reminds me of Jim Brown (those who can remember him). Not too far off on the running style either.

Yeah, it's one of those things where I was so impressed with Hill that I let it cloud my memories of how bloody good Seldon and Moore were together. Hence why I deleted it. :)

I believe they were probably both better receivers than Hill too, though maybe that was just Moore.

Either way, I'm really hoping Hill blows the record to pieces this season, and comes back next year as well.

I really hope he does too because I'm slightly concerned about who we'd have at RB next year if he leaves.

Eh, RB is the most fungible position in football. Hill can't be replaced, but we'll be OK with Nico Evans, Overstreet and Mike Green III. Heck even a freshmen could go in there and do OK imo

2. Ryan Christopherson (1991-94) 2,906
3. Brian Hill (2014-pres.) 2,808 (+207)

Hill moved from 5th to 3rd. He needs 156 yards to set the all-time record. Wick could move past Abraham tonight against EMU.

I think Hill will break the record tonight and I think him doing so, means a Wyoming win.
