STILLWATER, Okla. -- So much went right for Oklahoma State running back Justice Hill against Baylor.And yet, so much went wrong.The true freshman ran for 122 yards and a touchdown in his first career start last Saturday and was named Big 12 Newcomer of the Week. It was the most yards rushing for an Oklahoma State freshman since 2009.His fumbles were costly, especially his second one. With Baylor holding onto a 28-24 lead in the fourth quarter, he lost the ball at the Baylor 2-yard line, and the Bears took over with 9:12 to play. Baylor went on to win 35-24.Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy said Hills talent and approach to the game have earned him another chance, starting with Saturdays game against No. 22 Texas.He made enough plays for us to justify letting him carry the ball, Gundy said. If youre asking me because he fumbled, what are we going to do, were going to give him the ball and let him run again.That doesnt mean Hill escaped criticism.Im a big Justice Hill fan, but he has to take care of the football, Gundy said. They dont stop and say, `Youre a true freshman, were going to give you that one back. They all count.On his first fumble, Hill lost the ball near midfield in the second quarter, and Baylor recovered with the score tied at 14.I understand hes a true freshman, and we want him carrying the ball, Gundy said. The first fumble he had, I have to give credit to Baylors defender because he was in there deep and reached hard and pulled and was very good in whatever theyve coached him to do. The second time, hes fighting for extra yards. Those are learning experiences for him.Hill, at just 171 pounds, has emerged from a crowded group as the main back. Rennie Childs has six touchdowns this season and is second on the team in carries and yards. Jeff Carr, Chris Carson and Barry J. Sanders all get carries, too.Hill got 20 carries against Baylor after getting 24 the first three games combined. He showed his burst when he got to the corner on a 38-yard run the play before his fourth-quarter fumble. Hes quick and can absorb contact, despite his relatively small frame.Texas allows 150.7 yards rushing per game, fourth in the Big 12, and 3.6 yards per carry. The Longhorns have just one fumble recovery this season.Gundy doesnt see the fumbles as an issue going forward, and he doesnt believe they will shake Hills confidence.Hes an intelligent young man, Gundy said. He comes from a good home. Hes been raised the right way, so constructive criticism isnt something hes going to shy away from.---Follow Cliff Brunt on Twitter (at)CliffBruntAPRobin Lopez Jersey .

INDEPENDENCE, Ohio -- Just minutes after signing with Cleveland, Andrew Bynum proclaimed the Cavaliers to be a playoff team. Whether his ailing knees allow him to be the starting centre remains to be seen. "Getting my career on track is my only goal for the season," Bynum said Friday at his introductory press conference Friday. "The Cavs have given me every opportunity to succeed, and weve put together a plan. I really believe in the doctors here and the training staff. "I want to play a full season, and there is no doubt in my mind I can do that. Im going to be ready for training camp, thats the plan." Bynum signed a two-year, $24 million contract with the Cavaliers, officially ending his star-crossed stay with the Philadelphia 76ers. The 7-footer missed all of last season with knee problems after being acquired from the Lakers in a four-team trade. Though Bynum underwent bilateral arthroscopic surgery on both knees in March and has not been medically cleared to run, Cleveland general manager Chris Grant made him the teams top priority in free agency. The 25-year-old also was courted by the Mavericks and Hawks. "Were all aware of what his injuries have been," Grant said. "Hes also well aware of that and has taken ownership of the process. Andrew is in a different place right now and hes excited to move forward. Were going to do everything we possibly can." The Cavaliers only guaranteed Bynum $6 million in the first year of the deal, but he could earn an additional $6 million through performance incentives. Cleveland holds a $12 million team option for the second season. Bynum, who hasnt appeared in an NBA game since May 21, 2012, made $16.9 million last year with Philadelphia. He averaged 18.7 points and 11.7 rebounds for the Lakers two seasons ago -- earning his lone All-Star selection -- while playing under Cavaliers coach Mike Brown. "I was an All-Star in this league, but I feel like I still have a lot of room to grow," said Bynum, the No. 10 overall pick in the 2005 draft. "I had a year off, a year to watch basketball and learn the game from the outside in. I saw what I need to do. "With the time off, Ive been able to get the swelling in my knees out, so Im anxious and ready to start. Ive already moved to Cleveland, and come Monday, Ill be working here every day." The New Jersey native appeared to be in good shape, which he credited to "non-weight bearing exercises Ive been doing to strengthen my legs." Bynum added that he weighed 305 pounds, but planned on being at his playing weight of 285 by the start of the regular season. If Bynum is healthy, he gives the Cavaliers a formidable three-man core with All-Star point guard Kyrie Irving and power forward Anderson Vaarejao.dddddddddddd. Cleveland signed point guard Jarrett Jack and small forward Earl Clark earlier in this free agency period, giving it three additions with significant playoff experience. The Cavaliers also drafted UNLV power forward Anthony Bennett with the top overall pick, and has another developing big man in third-year pro Tristan Thompson. "Kyries talent is world renowned," Bynum said. "Not having had the opportunity to play with a great point guard, a great one-five (point guard-centre) combination is always a key in this game that we play. "I also cant wait to play with Anderson, honestly, because he brings a kind of energy and passion for the game that I havent been around before. We have the talent, and we definitely have an opportunity to go far." The 76ers had the same intentions last year, but skidded to a 34-48 campaign after dealing All-Star swingman Andre Iguodala and centre Nikola Vucevic as part of the package for Bynum. His work ethic was called into question when he was unable to play in November, and his reputation suffered more damage after opting for season-ending surgery five months later. "I was completely surprised with the way things turned out in Philly," said Bynum, who has a .566 career field goal percentage. "I showed up and I was in playing shape, and I had every intention of playing. Its just unfortunate it didnt work out. The criticism, I thought, was unfair, but it comes with the territory." Cleveland went 24-58 last season, making it 64-166 in three years since Akron native LeBron James left the franchise to sign with the Miami Heat as a free agent. James is eligible to opt out of his contract next summer, when the Cavaliers will be at least $20 million under the salary cap and hope to add the final piece to their puzzle. Bynum understands that he cant change what occurred in Philadelphia, but he can affect the future in Cleveland. "I want to get this team back into the playoffs and make some noise," he said. "The Cleveland fans deserve that. I will bring leadership and experience to the great young nucleus of guys we have here. We have the talent. Now, all its going to take is hard work, and Im willing to do that." ---- NOTES: The Cavaliers waived PF Kevin Jones and PG Chris Quinn in order to clear the salary cap room to sign Bynum. Both players were on Clevelands summer league roster, but had non-guaranteed contracts. ... The Cavaliers have renounced the rights to PF Luke Walton, but Grant said the door remains open for him to return. ... Russian rookie SF Sergey Karasev will make his first visit to Cleveland next week. The No. 19 pick in the draft has been playing professionally overseas, but will join the Cavaliers this season. ' ' '
