So, I'm a huge college football fan, and out of curiosity, I was wondering which game holds the record for the most rushing yards in history? Anyone got the stats?
The current record holder for the most rushing yards in a single college football game is Samaje Perine from the University of Oklahoma. On November 22, 2014, Perine rushed for a staggering 427 yards in a game against Kansas. This broke the previous record of 408 yards set just a week earlier by Melvin Gordon of Wisconsin against Nebraska. Perine achieved this remarkable feat on just 34 carries, averaging a remarkable 12.6 yards per carry. He also scored five touchdowns in the game. This extraordinary performance etched Perine's name into the college football record books.
