College football stats: Best numbers from Week 7

5,218 Ferris State quarterback Jason Vander Laan became the greatest rushing quarterback in the history of college football (across all divisions) Saturday with a 161-yard performance that pushed his career rushing total to 5,218 yards. With that performance, Vander Laan topped the previous mark of 5,128 set by Wofford’s Shawn Greaves in 1992. The Division II quarterback needed only 71 yards to beat Greaves’ record coming into the game against Ohio Dominican, and Vander Laan’s 53-yard touchdown run in the second quarter was enough to break the record and cement the himself in college football history. What's more is that impressive Vander Laan is halfway through his junior year, while Greaves set the record over the span of a four-year career at Wofford.

Memorable moments from Week 7

3 For the first time in the three-year history of the American Athletic Conference, three schools are ranked in the AP Top 25 Poll. Memphis cracked the list for the first time all year at No. 18 after beating then-No. 13 Ole Miss, while Houston sits at No. 21 followed closely by No. 22 Temple. Even more impressive, all three teams are still undefeated.

38 Michigan State’s Jalen Watts-Jackson returned to East Lansing a hero after scooping up a Michigan fumble with 10 seconds in the game and racing 38 yards to the endzone for the game-winning score. The Spartans trailed the Wolverines 23-21, but the heads-up play by Watts-Jackson on the bumbled punt and subsequent fumble recovery touchdown gave Michigan State a win it won’t soon forget.

The Cardinal running back finished Saturday’s huge win over USC with 369 all-purpose yards, including 243 yards on the ground and four touchdowns. McCaffrey ranks second in the Pac-12 and 10th in the nation with 844 rushing yards and averages 253 all-purpose yards per game.
