Impact Hicks led the backfield in volume for the second consecutive game. That's not saying much though as Oklahoma State suffered their worst loss in school history while visiting the Ducks.

Leads backfield for the Cowboys Hicks logged 21 rushes for 56 yards during Thursday's 27-7 win over Tennessee-Martin.

Impact Hicks was the top running back for the Cowboys in their season-opening win against UT-Martin. Rodney Fields was held out with a lower body injury and Freddie Brock received just three carries for zero yards. Sesi Vailahi rushed nine times for 32 yards and a touchdown.
