Christian McCaffrey Sets Stanford Record for Single-Season All-Purpose Yards

Stanford Cardinal sophomore running back Christian McCaffrey broke the school's single-season record for all-purpose yardage Saturday, according to the team's Twitter account.

Glyn Milburn had set the record with 2,234 yards in 1992. After Saturday's matchup against the Oregon Ducks, McCaffrey will have at least three games left to increase his numbers, with the team's final two regular-season matchups coming at home.

For all of the talk about Leonard Fournette, Dalvin Cook and Derrick Henry as the best running backs in the country, McCaffrey has flown under the radar despite being a huge reason why Stanford continues to make a push toward the College Football Playoff field.

Ralph Russo of the Associated Press offered his thoughts on McCaffrey and the crop of running backs this year:

If Stanford continues to win games at this pace, McCaffrey is sure to get more Heisman Trophy consideration.

He came into Saturday with 1,207 rushing yards on 6.1 yards per carry. By distancing himself in the record book and padding his stats in Stanford's final two regular-season games, McCaffrey can sneak into the discussion while other contenders such as Fournette stumble.
