Denard likely to miss out on QB career rushing record
Denard has 4,129 rushing yards for his career while Pat White has the record for QBs at 4,480. Earlier this year, it seemed certain Denard would break that but now it's looking very unlikely. Getting at least 100 yards rushing seems it would have been all but certain against Minny, NW, and Iowa. And that would leave just a handful more for the rest of the Nebraska game, Ohio, and the bowl game (I believe those count). Even if Denard is back for the Iowa game, and I'm guessing he won't be, 351 yards is no gimme, especially considering we're likely to play a tough SEC defense in the bowl game.
Obviously Denard has had a great career regardless, but it's too bad he probably won't end up as the top-rushing QB of all-time as he deserves. Sorry to make you more depressed about Denard's injury, but I haven't seen this discussed at all since the beginning of the year, so apologies if it's been in threads I haven't seen.
I miss you Denard *sigh*

I'm sure Denard does want to break the record, but like was said up there, the record is gonna be broken someday (probably by Braxton).
But you can't take away a Big Ten Championship

There was a Chip Kelly quote 2 years ago when he was asked if he'ld love to have Denard robinson as a QB. He told the reporter no because he prefers a QB who can run to a RB who can throw.

Hard to say what he really thinks. If he said he wanted Denard, he'd be dissing his own QB.
