NCAA Division 1-A Single Season Rushing Record

What is the single season rushing record ? Not career, but for one season..


Now, on to my main point:

Garrett Wolfe, through only 6 games has 1343 yards rushing on the year. Averaging 223.8 yards /game.
Wolfe is the first string running back for the Northern Illinois Huskies; had 172 yards rushing in the first game of the season against #1 Ohio State.
NIU has 7 games remaining in the season.

At this pace, he will/should be well over 2000 yards by the seasons end; pending no injuries.

Granted, they play in the MAC, but still.. amazing, to say the least.
 
NIU has a history of great backs.

1 Barry Sanders Oklahoma State 1988 2,628
2 Marcus Allen Southern Cal 1981 2,342
3 Troy Davis Iowa State 1996 2,185
4 LaDainian Tomlinson TCU 2000 2,158
5 Mike Rozier Nebraska 1983 2,148
6 Rickey Williams Texas 1998 2,124
7 Larry Johnson Penn State 2002 2,087
8 Byron Hanspard Texas Tech 1996 2,084
9 Rashaan Salaam Colorado 1994 2,055
10 Troy Davis Iowa State 1995 2,010
11 LeShon Johnson Northern Illinois 1993 1,976
12 Tony Dorsett Pittsburgh 1976 1,948
13 Michael Turner Northern Illinois 2002 1,915

Damn.. then this Wolfe guy would have to maintain his current pace to even come close. I didn't realize the record was over 2600 yards.



 
Having seen him first hand at the OSU game, I can tell you this guy is legit. He's pretty much a one-man-gang on offense.
