Chadron State's Woodhead on verge of rushing record
The biggest attractions in Chadron, Neb., used to be the annual "Fur Trade Days" -- which honors the town's past as a fur and hide trading post -- and a parade of worn-down, beat-up pickups called the "Ugly Truck" contest. But Danny Woodhead has changed that.
The northwestern Nebraska town of 5,364 and the campus of Division II Chadron State are in the national spotlight as an undersized senior running back stands on the cusp of becoming the most productive runner in college football history.
"It's not something that this town is really accustomed to -- or our team," Woodhead said.
