here's a quick compilation of the FCS national leaders.
Leading rushers:
#2 - Zach Zenner - South Dakota St - 1,703 yards, 10 touchdowns
#3 - Eric Breitenstein - Wofford - 1,653 yards, 16 touchdowns
#11 - Gavin McCarney - Colgate - 1,309 yards,
22 touchdowns (nation's leading rushing quarterback)
#13 - Tyler Varga - Yale - 935 yards, 8 touchdowns (8 games)
but where are the others? the facts speak for themselves. with so many White runners at the top, the Bell Curve should show several others scattered throughout the list, but the Caste System prevents the natural distribution of White performers.
the next White rusher is all the way down at #36, Morehead State's Rees MacShara. the former 4A Kentucky PoY who led the state of Kentucky with 3,073 yards and 43 touchdowns as a senior, MacShara (of course) didn't receive a single Division One scholarship offer.
Leading receivers (yards per game):
#1 - Erik Lora - Eastern Illinois -
1,531 yards, 12 touchdowns,
124 catches
#4 - Luke Tasker - Cornell - 1,207 yards, 8 touchdowns, 75 catches
#6 - Brandon Kaufman - Eastern Washington - 1,270 yards, 10 touchdowns, 65 catches
#14 - Mike Rios - Marist - 968 yards, 9 touchdowns, 40 catches (10 games)
#16 - Brian Wetzel - Fordham - 1,042 yards, 7 touchdowns, 72 catches
#17 - Ryan Spadola - Lehigh - 851 yards, 4 touchdowns, 57 catches (9 games)
#18 - Grant Gellatly - Cornell - 940 yards, 5 touchdowns, 61 catches (10 games)
#19 - Mark Ross - Lafayette - 1,030 yards, 10 touchdowns, 75 catches
Grant Gellatly provides yet another poignant example of the Caste System in action. a first-team All-State running back AND cornerback in high school, the two-star recruit was completely ignored by Division One programs. furthermore, once he arrived at Cornell, he was moved to wide receiver despite (as his coaches asserted) being "one of the top open field threats" in the conference and having never played the position before. :doh: if he wasn't going to play at tailback, then why not move him to his other natural position at cornerback? nope, there's no racial bias in collegiate football. nope, none at all. please move along. :tape2:
3,000 yard passers:
#1 - Taylor Heinicke - Old Dominion -
4,158 yards,
35 touchdowns, 13 interceptions
#2 - Casey Brockman - Murray State - 3,729 yards, 28 touchdowns, 10 interceptions
#3 - Kevin Yost - Idaho St - 3,690 yards, 24 touchdowns, 15 interceptions
#4 - Brady Attaway - Stephen F. Austin - 3,671 yards, 29 touchdowns, 21 interceptions (ouch!)
#5 - Jimmy Garoppolo - Eastern Illinois - 3,602 yards, 31 touchdowns, 14 interceptions
#6 - Derek Carr - Tennessee Martin - 3,276 yards, 31 touchdowns, 8 interceptions
#7 - Mike Piatkowski - Drake - 3.273 yards, 22 touchdowns, 10 interceptions
#8 - Jeff Mathews - Cornell - 3,196 yards, 18 touchdowns, 11 interceptions (9 games)
#9 - Jonathan Carkhuff - Davidson - 3,151 yards, 16 touchdowns, 15 interceptions
#10 - Thomas Wilson - Elon - 3,149 yards, 25 touchdowns, 10 interceptions
#11 - Brad Sorensen - Southern Utah - 3,139 yards, 23 touchdowns, 10 interceptions
#12 - Michael Colvin - Lehigh - 3,114 yards, 19 touchdowns, 16 interceptions
yes, you read that correctly. there are twelve 3,000-yard passers currently in the FCS. all 12 of them are White men.
Leading tacklers:
#1 - Matt Evans - New Hampshire - linebacker - 77 solo
#2 - Zak Browning - Southern Utah - linebacker - 69 (10 games) - he's a freshman!
#3 - Ian Sluss - Portland St - linebacker - 75 solo
#4 (t) Ross Shafrath - South Dakota St - linebacker - 73 solo
#7 - Justin Sexton - Sacred Heart - linebacker - 70 solo
#9 - Alex Grask - Valparaiso - safety - 68 solo

#19 - Paul Worrilow - Delaware - linebacker - 57 solo (10 games)
#20 - Tanner Burch - Gardner-Webb - linebacker - 51 solo (9 games)
according to conventional wisdom, how is the above list even possible?!?!
