He now has 2,269 career rushing yards - good enough to get him to 19th on Michigan's all time list and move Tony Boles (2,247) down to #20 and knock Stan Edwards (2,206) out of the top 20.
If Higdon continues his tear of consecutive 100-yard games against Penn State, he will jump to 17th and pass Ed Shuttlesworth (2,343) and Fitzgerald Toussaint (2,290).
Higdon is positioning himself to have one of the top 20 rushing seasons in Michigan history. He currently stands at 843 yards on the season. To crack the top 20 he needs to get to 1,198 - 1 more yard than Ricky Powers in 1991. I'd bet it is highly likely he gets the 355 yards needed with 4 games remaining. There's a lot of big time names on that Top 20 list.
He stands at 6 100-yard games on the season. With 4 regular season games remaining he can get to the record of 10 set by Jamie Morris in 1987. A-Train (2000), Mike Hart (twice), and Denard (2010) all had 9. If he got 10 that would be a heck of an accomplishment not just for him, but for the offensive line, which has really answered the call this season. It would also portend very well for Michigan's title hopes.
