Does someone have a good link to find the career NCAA rushing leaders?

I am trying to silence my father-in law on a few thing re: GW.

Nice! Thanks UIHUSKIE!

Great to see 2 of the top 18 are Northern guys.

This is funny, as some co-workers and I were discussing this very topic on Friday. I pulled up the same info as UIHuskie.

Another interesting stat I found is that Wolfe is 4th all time in yards per game at around 158 ypg...(a stat used to determine the nation's leading rusher)

I don't have the linke with me...maybe UI Huskie could post this stat as well...if not I'll put it up on Monday.

I'm curious. What exactly what your father-in-law arguing?

it should also be noted that GW has the highest YPC of anyone on this list. also wasnt aware that chester taylor was so high on this list...

And remember, Taylor did that, while spilting time with Antwan McCray, and Will Bratton for two out of three years he played.

i thought keller would be on this list....how many yards did he have?

Mark had 3,745 rushing yards for his career. He is 3rd on the All-Time NIU list.

In 1973, he led the nation in rushing with 1,719 yards. In 1972, Mark had 1,316 yards rushing.
