Danny Woodhead became college football’s all-time leading rusher Saturday afternoon by while leading Chadron State College to a 21-0 victory over Western New Mexico in Silver City.
Woodhead carried 34 times for 208 yards to increase his career rushing total to 7,441 yards, 88 more than R. J. Bowers of Grove City College in Pennsylvania accumulated from 1997 through 2000.
Woodhead, who scored on runs of 4 and 29 yards in the first half, passed Bowers during a six-yard carry early in the second half. He received the ball he was carrying and was given a standing ovation from the crowd.
The senior from North Platte has now rushed for more than 200 yards in 19 of the 39 games he has played for the Eagles and has scored in 37 consecutive games. Both are all-college records. He has now scored 101 touchdowns, becoming just the second player in collegiate history to score 100 TDs. He needs 50 more points to match Germaine Race, who scored 656 points before graduating from Pittsburg State in Kansas last fall.
The victory gives the No. 4 ranked Eagles a 6-0 seasonal record and a 3-0 mark in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Coference.
Chadron State’s other touchdown Saturday came on a 9-yard pass from quarterback Joe McLain to wide receiver Isaac Stockton in the first period. It came after linebacker Zach Wheeler had intercepted a Western New Mexico pass at the Mustangs’ 42. CSC safetys Trevor Hyatt and Paul Schweger also intercepted passes in the second half.
Although both teams threatened a couple of times there was no scoring in the second half, when the Eagles were penalized nine times for 100 yards. A 37-yard run to the end zone by Woodhead was wiped out by a penalty in the third period.
The shut out was the third in four games for the Eagles, who have given up just seven points in the last 16 quarters.
Chadron State finished with 368 total net yards. Western New Mexico, now 2-4 for the season and 2-2 in the RMAC, had 216 total net yards.
