Northern Illinois’ running back, Garrett Wolfe, is currently leading the NCAA in rushing yardage with 1,181. That’s 375 yards more than the No. 2 guy, Ray Rice of Rutgers.
Last Saturday against Ball State, Wolfe ran for 353 yards, a school record, and scored three touchdowns, which also gives him the Division I-A lead.
Wolfe’s numbers are worthy of Heisman Trophy consideration. But Northern Illinois isn’t exactly a high-profile, glamour name in the collegiate world, like USC and Notre Dame. Hopefully the Heisman voters will look past that and give a running back from a smaller Division I-A school serious consideration.
