Corey Lewis - Single Season Rushing Record

[waterloopanther]

This is kind of fun...how many carries will Corey Lewis have on Saturday until he breaks the single season rushing record of 1383 held by Adam Benge? Corey needs 20 to tie and 21 to break it.

I think he will break it in 3 rushes.

What are your thoughts?

I know Adam will be in attendance this weekend to see the record fall.

I'll say 5.
Though I'd love to see him break a big run on his first carry to prove me wrong ;op

I will guess three

Re: Corey Lewis - Single Season Rushing Record

6 rushes. UD will be stacking the box to prevent the run early.

1 - Lewis breaks the record on the first play from scrimmage. Go Panthers!

Re: Corey Lewis - Single Season Rushing Record

I'd really like to go play-action to Corey on the first play from scrimmage and throw it deep to either Monteri, Victor or Johnny Gray.

Come to think about it, I hope they run the play where Victor throws it to Johnny. That was fun last year vs. Illinois State.

Is it just me or was the first play of EVERY game in 2005 a deep play action route?

Griff wins, though it wasn't what he really thought.

Honorable mention goes to MeOW!, he only missed by 3 yards, since C-Lew busted an 18 yard run on UNI's first play from scrimmage.

Re: Corey Lewis - Single Season Rushing Record

Who held this record previously? Adam Benge, right? I seem to remember Steve Harris holding this record for a few years as well, and assume (if I'm correct) that he took it away from Kelly Ellis? Are I right or wrong on all or part of this?

Benge held it previously, having set it in '01 with 1383 yds.
Before that, it was Carl Boyd, with his '85 season of 1258 yds.
Prior to that, Steve Harris had held the record for a year with his 1131 yds in '84.

According to the stats I'm looking at, Tom Scalissi's '75 total of 1104 yds would have held up over Kelly Ellis' highest season total of 1093 in '79.

If Lewis gets 30 touches today we win the ballgame and there is not a doubt in my mind on that one. This loss is on Bill Salmon. Pure and Simple...

I've seen some speculation that he got nicked up (or aggreveated a previous injury). Not sure, but that would help explain why his touches were down.
