In 2007, Woodhead accumulated 7,441 yards on the ground, for his career, giving him a career average of 190.8 yards per game. He has rushed for more than 200 yards in 19 of his 39 appearances and scored in 37 consecutive games, both of which are NCAA all-division records.
After a 208 yard game against Western New Mexico in 2007, he became college football's all-time leading rusher, breaking the record previously held by R.J. Bowers, who played for Grove City College, a Division III school in Pennsylvania from 1997 - 2000.[1] Woodhead is also just the sixth NCAA Division II player to rush for more than 1,000 yards in four seasons.
Woodhead has also recorded 9,259 all purpose yards, which ranks second on the NCAA all-time list. Brian Westbrook (Villanova, 1997 - 2001) currently holds the record with 9,512 total yards of offense.
Woodhead is also tied with Germaine Race (Pittsburg State 2003 - 2006) for first place in Division II in career scoring with 654 points on 109 touchdowns. Race is also the all-time leader in two two-point conversions for 658 points. Woodhead is only the second player in collegiate history to score more than 100 touchdowns.
Barry Sanders is the only college player to accumulate more all-purpose yards than the 3,159 that Woodhead gained in 2006. Sanders managed 3,250 as a junior at Oklahoma State in 1988, when he won the Heisman Trophy. Woodhead ranked 10th in Division-II in career all-purpose yards with 7,349 after his junior season. The Division-II leader is Brian Shay of Emporia State with 9,301 yards, including 1,207 on kickoff returns, 1995 - 1998.
I know Nate Kmic broke his rushing record but was in D3. I still think Nate Kmic is a good back but Woodhead is better.
When he was actually given a real opportunity to play that is. It is obvious Woodhead is more athletic, Washington is a 4.5 guy, Woodhead is a 4.3 guy, Im pretty sure his other athletic abilities are better than Washington, does that automatically translate into a better back? no but given what Woodhead has accomplished in college and his athletic abilities I am pretty sure he would do better if given a real shot.Edited by: dwid
