Congratulations to Norwood
One shining moment in the recent loss to Kentucky was Jerious Norwood’s acheivement of the career rushing record at Mississippi State. Norwood’s 121 yards rushing Saturday put him over Walter Packer’s record of 2,820 and setting a new record of 2,888.
The week before, against Houston, Norwood broke J.J. Johnson’s single-game rushing record of 237 yards by running for 257 yards.
Congrats Jerious!

I’m too young to have seen Walter Packer, so I don’t have full perspective, but considering the teams Norwood has been on, I can’t see there ever being a better RB in MSU history. J.J. was phenomenal, and if he had been at MSU for 4 years would have shattered Packer’s record, but he had great o-linemen (and tight ends) to block for him. Norwood has been a one-man machine and deserves the spot atop the rushing yards list, and still has chances at the rushing attempts and 100 yard game #1 spots.
