If I recall correctly, scUM didn't allow any TEAM to rush for more than 50 yds that season. OSU had two 50+ yd TDs in that 2006 game. The one by Beanie and a 56 yarder by Antonio Pittman.

Two other teams did manage it, but that was a heckuva run defense in 2006.

Minnesota rushed for 108 on 24 carries.
Sparty rushed for 60 yards on 26 carries.

But they also had these stats:

Notre Dame had 4 yards on 17 carries, including 4 by Brady Quinn for -18 yards.
Wisconsin had 12 yards on 27 carries.
Penn State had -14 yards on 25 carries, due to Anthony Morelli getting 5 ‘carries’ for -49.
Iowa had 41 yards on 24 carries.
NW’ern had -13 yards on 17 carries.

In the bowl game, USC had 48 yards on 23 carries.

Combined stats for ND, Wiscy, Penn St., Iowa, NW’ern, and USC:

78 yards on 133 carries, an average of 13 yards per game, and 0.586 yards per carry.

In the only version of The Game to feature #1 vs #2, the Buckeyes had 29 carries for 187, or 6.45 ypc.
