Highlighted by runs of 62, 58 and 37 yards, Mississippi State junior running back Kylin Hill ran for a career-high 234 yards and three touchdowns in the Bulldogs' 54-24 win at Arkansas, and on Monday was named the SEC Offensive Player of the Week.
The SEC weekly honor is Hill's second of his career and first this season. Hill previously earned the league's offensive player of the week award last season after rushing 17 times for 211 yards and two touchdowns and also catching a 16-yard score at Kansas State.
Hill's 234 yards helped MSU set school records in a conference game for rushing yards (460) and total yards (640) and were the most by an SEC player in a conference game since LSU's Derrius Guice had 276 vs. Ole Miss on Oct. 21, 2017. Hill became the first player in school history with over 230 yards rushing and three touchdowns in the same game.
