After Kyle Boone wrote about how Tailback U is helping Oklahoma State on the recruiting trail, I got an interesting email follow-up from a reader named Tim. He noted the following amazing statistic that I had definitely read before but definitely forgot.
A storyline that I think you might find interesting since I have never seen it on any sports media when they start talking about schools that have had great running backs.
In the 1990 football season, the AFC, NFC and NCAA leading rushers all came from Oklahoma State. Barry Sanders of the Detroit Lions led the NFC as well as the NFL in rushing.
