Wisconsin's Montee Ball Could Break Barry Sanders' Touchdown Record*

* Except he'll have to do in 14 games what Sanders did in 11.

Thus Sanders' 222 yards rushing and five touchdowns against Wyoming in the Holiday Bowl do not count in his NCAA records of 2,628 yards rushing and 39 TDs. His actual totals for 1988 were 2,850 yards and 44 touchdowns.

The NCAA's director of statistics, Jim Wright, said records before 2002 remained the same, despite the bowl policy change, because "we did not have the resources to, literally, recreate every bowl game with complete stats and play-by-plays that would allow us to see what additional records would be impacted."

He wants to "recreate" the games?

I’d just look up the stats readily available online to anyone with a 1995 era AOL account.
