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.
