    Yet another reason why I hate replay in college football

    This is pretty damn tickey tack really. It's bad enough you review plays in games, but to review a record setting performance is total going to far.

    Arkansas running back ends up with 321 rushing yards

    FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. -- Darren McFadden had 2 yards subtracted from his rushing total from Saturday night, meaning he only tied the Southeastern Conference single-game record.

    McFadden was initially credited with 323 yards on 35 carries in Arkansas' 48-36 win over South Carolina, but Razorbacks spokesman Kevin Trainor said Sunday that a review of the film showed the star tailback was given too many yards. A 3-yard run by Felix Jones was mistakenly credited to McFadden, and McFadden was shortchanged a yard on one of his carries.

    McFadden is now credited with 321 yards on 34 carries. Jones' updated totals for Saturday night: 13 carries for 166 yards.

    Vanderbilt's Frank Mordica rushed for 321 yards in a 1978 game.

    Ok so they made a mistake on the stats by giving Jones 3 yards, thats fine. But to shortchange him a yard on a carry is stupid.

    you're mad because they didn't give him credit for someone else's carry?

    Are individual stats more important than team wins? Do linemen ever get credit for the blocks?
