Mo Ibrahim on verge of breaking 4 more program records

[BleedGopher]

Per Greder:

Ibrahim has been cresting Darrell Thompson’s perches atop Minnesota’s record books all season — moving into first in career rushing touchdowns, total TDs and 100-yard games — and Ibrahim has almost reached the tallest summit: career rushing yards. Ibrahim sits only 57 yards behind Thompson’s mark of 4,654.

Ibrahim also is on the verge of three single-season records. He is 32 rushing yards behind David Cobb’s 1,626 in 2014 and 10 carries behind Cobb’s 314 set that same year. Ibrahim needs one touchdown to break a tie with Gary Russell’s single-season mark of 19 set in 2006.

Go Gophers!!

Hopefully he has all four records by halftime.

Hopefully he has all four records by halftime.

Syracuse run defense gave up yards to the tune of the nations leading rusher. He might have it in the first quarter.

 

[The SF Rock]

Go Mo. Get them all. RTBSUMGG!!! I hope at some point you return to Gopher Football.

 

[Off-GridTNgopher]

He should have those records by the end of the first quarter... Then sit him and let Evans handle the show the rest of the way

He could get three of the four on one play.

Expectations clearly high. Hopefully he will have all the records by the end of the first quarter or half time. Not looking forward to the posts in the in-game thread if he doesn't. Between the trolls, idiots, people who are easily swayed by negative comments and then join the fray, it gets to be a messy in-game thread.

That was a really fun year with Cobb he was dialed in.

Thought a side by side comparison between Darrell and MO might have some interest.
1st Mo's then Darrell's stats.

Darrell is clearly the better receiving option out of the backfield. Lol.

I really would have expected him to get the season record at the Wisc game but they played the run so hard… we had to take the win passing.

Go Gophers!!

A reminder that MN has had some terrific running backs over the years. Several great ones aren't even in this list. Let's hope we have a collection of freshman and/or recruits that can be the next great "pair and a spare".
