If you asked most football fans to identify the game Red Grange rushed for the highest number of yards in his college football career, most would say it came in 1924 when he gained 402 all-purpose yards against Michigan.
Love it! The Galloping Ghost and first football legend along with maybe Jim Thorpe… Achieved all time mythical status that few ever see.
A question: How do we count Grange's yardage after receiving the pitch on the flea flicker? Rushing yardage? Yardage after catch?
It is passing yardage today but how and whether there was consistency in counting yardage in 1925 is another issue.
