Quote:Here's a glimpse of what he's accomplished this season:
  His 2,327 all-purpose yards leads the FBS and is the second-highest total in Stanford history, behind his own 3,864, from last year. He is averaging 211.5 per game.
  McCaffrey's 1,603 rushing yards are the fourth-most in school history.
  In the past five games, McCaffrey has rushed for 991 yards and rushed for 10 touchdowns.
  This is McCaffrey's fifth consecutive game with 100 yards rushing, making him the only player in Stanford history to have two such streaks.
  McCaffrey has two consecutive 200-yard rushing performances, and five in his career.
  With 6,987 all-purpose yards, he needs only 134 more to break Darrin Nelson's Stanford career record.
  With 3,922 career rushing yards, McCaffrey is No. 3 at Stanford all-time and still has a season of eligibility remaining.
A couple of other things, emphasizing that his drop off from his all time record setting year last year was surprisingly small and mostly due to injury and teams not kicking off to him; and this despite a generally much poorer offense that provided fewer opportunities.
- McCaffrey is averaging 145.7 yds/game rushing. Last year he averaged 144.2.
- No one else in the Pac 12 is averaging even 100 yds/game rushing.
- McCaffrey is averaging 6.34 yds/carry. Last year he averaged 5.99 yds/carry. This improvement despite the fact that McCaffrey took over the short yardage role for most of the season.
- He's catching a few more passes than last year (3.4 vs 3.2) but for fewer yards/gm (28 vs 46).
- He leads the nation in all purpose yards for the second year in a row. Last year he averaged 276.0 yds/game. This year 211.5 yds/game.
- Most of the lost all purpose yards production from last year is in kickoff returns, primarily because teams won't kick to him. Last year he had 37 returns for 1070 yards; this year 14 returns for 318 yds.
- McCaffrey has 42.6% of Stanford's yards from scrimmage, but that includes entirely missing one game and being decidedly injured for two others. Last year he had 43.7% of Stanford's yards from scrimmage.
