SEATTLE -- Here are your top NCAA Division I rushers heading into Week 3. Thought you'd like to see where Fresno State Heisman candidate Dwayne Wright ranks on the national list.
I'm referring to him as a Heisman candidate mostly to mock the current system, but if he keeps playing like this, I might not be the only one saying it. Just remember, the better he does, the more likely he'll be in the NFL next year.
1. Garrett Wolfe, N. Illinois 367
2. Ian Johnson, Boise State 329
3. Dwayne Wright, Fresno State 312
4. Ray Rice, Rutgers 309
5. Steve Slaton, West Virginia 308
6. Adrian Peterson, Oklahoma 304
7. Mike Hart, Michigan 262
8. Louis Rankin, Washington 257
Freddie Barnes, Bowling Green 257
10. Kenny Irons, Auburn 252
Slaton had a big game Thursday night so Wright will probably need around 200 yards today against Washington to take the lead. Not that it would change his life or anything, it's just fun to keep track of.
A couple things to note: Johnson got his 329 yards on 35 carries. Wright has had 55. Louis Rankin, who the Bulldogs face today, needed just 27 carries for his 257. Scary stuff.
