Ron Becomes the "Great Dayne" in 1999
Big, bruising and fast were three components that helped Badger halfback
Ron Dayne explode through the rushing books on his way to setting the
NCAA’s all-time rushing record. Much like an Old Clint Eastwood movie,
Dayne made a sudden impact his freshman year by eclipsing Herschel
Walker’s freshman mark by more than 200 yards en route to a 1,863 yard
season.
With nearly half of his yards accumulated after contact, Dayne continued to
punish his opposition with 1,421 yards his sophomore season and 1,279
his junior year. Heading into the 1999 campaign, the 5-10, 252-pound
Dayne was within 1,717 yards of breaking Ricky Williams’ all-time career
mark. Much like Williams who had set the new rushing standard in 1998,
Dayne surged past the record in his final regular season game. Dayne
finished with 6,739 career yards.
