About this puzzle
The single-game rushing record changed hands twice in one week in November 2014 - and still stands a decade later. This puzzle ranks the five biggest rushing days in college football history, from a true freshman who broke a week-old record to a back who needed an all-time 58 carries to get there. Only one name here is a household one, and his record night is the least remembered thing he did.
