With Saturday's school-record 353-yard rushing performance against Ball State, Garrett Wolfe padded his national rushing yardage lead. At 1,181 yards, Wolfe is 375 yards ahead of No. 2 Ray Rice of Rutgers. Three rushing TDs against the Cardinals gave Wolfe the Division I-A lead with 12 (11 rushing, 1 receiving) and 72 points. . . . The Davis brothers from Riverside-Brookfield also had career games. Brandon, a junior tight end, had four catches for 61 yards, while Britt, a sophomore wide receiver, had five for 115 yards and the first 100-yard receiving game for any NIU wide receiver this season.
