STANFORD, Calif. — Much of the credit for the Cardinal six-game winning streak can be paid to the efforts of running back Christian McCaffrey — who leads the nation in all-purpose yards, and has now climbed to third in the Heisman rankings, according to ESPN.
The folks at Sports Illustrated have ranked McCaffrey fifth in their poll.
McCaffrey was seen limping down the stairs after his postgame interviews with ice bags around both knees and his left hand after his 300-yard — his third 300-yard game of the season — performance against Washington last Saturday during Stanford's homecoming.
