100-Yard Rushing Notes Since 1981, MSU has had 130 players rush for 100 yards or more in a game. The longest string of consecutive 100-yard games rushing by a Maverick came in 1994 and 1995 seasons when MSU had six consecutive 100-yard rushing games and most recently during the 2013 season. During the final six games of the 2013 season, MSU saw three players put together a string of 100-plus rushing performances. Connor Thomas (153) and Jon Wolf (112) both eclipsed the 100-yard rushing mark against SMSU on Oct. 19, with Thomas following with 153 rushing yards against Winona State on Oct. 26. On Nov. 2, Wolf ran for 111 yards against Wayne State, with Thomas following with 135 rushing yards against Sioux Falls one week later on Nov. 9. Wolf notched the fourth-highest rushing tally on Nov. 16 with 201 rushing yards against Upper Iowa. Chad Zastrow rushed for 162 yards as well. Wolf finished the 2013 season with 103 rushing yards against St. Cloud State in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. There have been 12 occurrences in school history where two players have rushed for 100 yards or more in the same game. The last duo to do so was Connor Thomas and Nick Pieruccini in MSU’s 3428 win over Augustana in 2014. Pieruccini ran for 125 yards while Thomas ran for 109. Only twice in school history has a trio of Mavericks ran for 100 or more yards in the same game. On Oct. 4, 1986, Tony Jones, Greg von der Lippe and Dave Scofield each eclipsed the 100-yard barrier against North Dakota. Jones ran for 159 yards, von der Lippe 131 and Scofield 129 as MSU downed UND 43-10 in Grand Forks, N.D. On Sept. 26, 2015, Virgil Hammond, Connor Thomas and Chad Zastrow each rushed for more the 100 yards against Minnesota Crookston. In MSU’s 63-3 road win over the Golden Eagles, Zastrow rushed for 115 yards, with Hammond following with 112 yard and Thomas with 110 yards.

100-Yard Rushing Notes Since 1981, MSU has had 130 players rush for 100 yards or more in a game. The longest string of consecutive 100-yard games rushing by a Maverick came in 1994 and 1995 seasons when MSU had six consecutive 100-yard rushing games and most recently during the 2013 season. During the final six games of the 2013 season, MSU saw three players put together a string of 100-plus rushing performances. Connor Thomas (153) and Jon Wolf (112) both eclipsed the 100-yard rushing mark against SMSU on Oct. 19, with Thomas following with 153 rushing yards against Winona State on Oct. 26. On Nov. 2, Wolf ran for 111 yards against Wayne State, with Thomas following with 135 rushing yards against Sioux Falls one week later on Nov. 9. Wolf notched the fourth-highest rushing tally on Nov. 16 with 201 rushing yards against Upper Iowa. Chad Zastrow rushed for 162 yards as well. Wolf finished the 2013 season with 103 rushing yards against St. Cloud State in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. There have been 12 occurrences in school history where two players have rushed for 100 yards or more in the same game. The last duo to do so was Connor Thomas and Nick Pieruccini in MSU’s 3428 win over Augustana in 2014. Pieruccini ran for 125 yards while Thomas ran for 109. Only twice in school history has a trio of Mavericks ran for 100 or more yards in the same game. On Oct. 4, 1986, Tony Jones, Greg von der Lippe and Dave Scofield each eclipsed the 100-yard barrier against North Dakota. Jones ran for 159 yards, von der Lippe 131 and Scofield 129 as MSU downed UND 43-10 in Grand Forks, N.D. On Sept. 26, 2015, Virgil Hammond, Connor Thomas and Chad Zastrow each rushed for more the 100 yards against Minnesota Crookston. In MSU’s 63-3 road win over the Golden Eagles, Zastrow rushed for 115 yards, with Hammond following with 112 yard and Thomas with 110 yards.
