Through two weeks of the college football season, the Big Ten had four players who have rushed for at least 200 yards this season. That may feel a little low considering some of the biggest names at the running back position in the conference are not among that short list of 200-yard rushers. Not yet, at least.
Despite having just one of the Big Ten’s top 10 rushing yardage leaders through two weeks, Penn State owns the Big Ten’s top rushing offense with 230 rushing yards per game with a Big Ten-leading eight rushing touchdowns. No other Big Ten school has more than five rushing touchdowns. Penn State is also averaging 47.5 rushing attempts per game through two games, thanks in large part to a blowout win over FCS Delaware last weekend with 60 rushing attempts in the win. And yet, [autotag]Nick Singleton[/autotag] is not among the Big Ten’s top 10 leading rushers after two weeks. His teammate, [autotag]Kaytron Allen[/autotag], does make the top 10 after recording a 100-yard game last weekend.
