With a 9-yard run in overtime against Mississippi State, Jamaal Williams planted himself at the top of BYU’s career rushing list, breaking Harvey Unga’s record and becoming the all-time top rushing yards gainer in BYU football history.
The feat was set up by an unprecedented streak that saw Williams running roughshod over BYU opponents also at a school-record pace.
By running for 618 yards in games against West Virginia, Toledo and Michigan State, Wililams had already become the first BYU player to rush for more than 400 yards in a two-game stretch and more than 600 yards in a three-game stretch.
