After week 1 MSU running back Kylin Hill lead the nation in rushing yards. Week 2 added to that total. 

After receiving offers from multiple Power 5 schools, Hill chose his home state Bulldogs and has been nothing short of electrifying for them. 

In his first two seasons for MSU, Hill has rushed for over 1000 total yards, but more importantly has averaged almost six yards per carry. This season, his average is up to 7.8 ypc. 

Chris Klieman says Mississippi State running back Kylin Hill "does everything." Stopping him will be the main priority for K-State on defense this week.

This fact is not being lost on Kansas State's coaching staff, especially since MSU is likely to be missing their starting QB.

Rush Yards: 197 (3rd in FBS)
Rush Attempts: 27
1st Down Runs: 12 (leads FBS)
10+ Yard Runs: 7
