that a back had 90+ yards rushing and receiving? A friend sent me that trivia. Maybe Pinkett last did it?

Last was Pinkett 1983 v Air Force, 193 rushing 93 receiving

OK. Kind of a surprise. Wonder if we have ever had 100-100 *

Looks like we've only had 70-70 a couple times recently.

Armando Allen had exactly 71-70 against MSU in 2010.
Darius Walker had 146-73 against Purdue in 2006.

I don't see game logs for Rocket (sports-reference appears to only start tracking those in 2000), but he had enough yards in both categories in 89 and 90 that he may have had a good combo one of those games.

I can't imagine anyone in the Kevin Rogers offenses achieved this. And I can't think of receivers who were used enough in end arounds to break off a big one. Golden Tate had 61-80 against Washington State in 2009 and had 55-57 against Purdue the same year. But other return guys didn't get many rushing opportunities. Getherall maxed out on 8 attempts for 78 rushing yards in his senior season.

Some other guesses...

What about Ricky Watters? Maybe the Rocket? Just speculating.
