Canadian Chuba Hubbard took a rest, then went after one of the few rushing marks he hadn’t already achieved with the Oklahoma State Cowboys. Barry Sanders, who ran for an NCAA-record 2,628 yards and won the Heisman Trophy in 1988, is the only other Oklahoma State player to reach the milestone. The Pro Football Hall of Famer tweeted congratulations to Hubbard, adding: “I know the effort it takes to get there.”Hubbard set the standard at the college level in a year when Canadian running backs stood out. After leading the league in rushing yards for a record third straight season, he became the first player ever to be voted both MVP and top Canadian in the big game. His first order of business was replacing head coach Corey Chamblin, after one season, with former CFL QB Ryan Dinwiddie.
