Rushing TD's in a Season - Rashad Jennings, Liberty -- 15 ('07)
Most 100-yard Games in a Season - Three-way tie -- 7 (Jennings currently has 7)

Career Rush Attempts - Sean Mizzer, VMI, 647 carries carries (Jennings is at 627)

All-time Leading Rusher
: Dre' Barnes, Liberty, 3409
*Rashad has already eclipsed Barnes' record. He currently stands at 3,544


There are a ridiculous amount of other records which are in reach for Rashad this year...I just got sick of looking them up. I think it's a great time to look back and see what Rashad Jennings has meant to this program over the years. I didn't think we'd see anyone eclipse Barnes, so I'd hesitate to say we won't see someone like Jennings again anytime soon--you never can tell--but man, is Jennings a special special player.

Just imagine if he didn't get horse collared against W&M.

after this year there is no question in my opinion that he is the best player to ever come through LU...

I'm going to make this a sticky...if Sly wants to take it down that's cool but I'd like to see this updated as we track it this season.

No, I'm not old... I saw him play in the NFL though.

The stickiness is fine with me if we can keep this on the topic of the records.

Total rushing yards: 1335
Total carries: 227
Rushing TD's: 15
100 yard games: 8 (record)

He also has 124 yards receiving and 2 receiving TD's

He needs three carries and thirteen yards and one TD to break the single season records.

He currently has 597 career carries so he needs 41 carries to break that record.

He will get the first three saturday against G-W. And I think he'll get the carries record against Elon...
