This was the week that I was finally going to complain about the new NCAA game clock rules. Now, I wasn't going to sit here and complain about how unfair it is that the clock moves on kick-offs and possession changes, even though I think both rules are incredibly lame.

Nope, I was gonna complain about how offensive stats are seemingly down. After all, if Texas Tech is getting two, three, or four fewer offensive possessions a game, how would one of their QBs make a run at a 6,000 yard season?

However, the week that I was planning to make the argument, Northern Illinois RB Garrett Wolfe rips off 353 yards rushing against Ball State. Wow. 353 yards? Hey Wolfe, next time how 'bout showing a little hustle out there? (...taunting Mr. Wolfe so he goes for over 300 every game in conference play).

After only five games, Wolfe has an amazing 1,181 yards rush-ing, putting him on track to finish the regular season with 2,834 yards, shattering Barry Sanders' longtime NCAA record of 2,638. Even better, Wolfe has the opportunity to add to those totals in a MAC Championship and/or bowl game. In that scenario, if Wolfe plays 14 games, he wouldn't even need to keep his current pace, and it's still incredibly realistic that he could blow past 3,000 yards. And I guess, if Wolfe rushes for over 1.7 MILES this season, I'll keep my mouth shut about the lame clock rules for now.
