Ann Arbor -- Michigan's Denard Robinson has set two NCAA records against Wisconsin.


Robinson broke Beau Morgan's major-college record for yards rushing
by quarterbacks Saturday and became the first player in NCAA history
with 1,500 yards rushing and 1,500 yards passing in one year.


Morgan had 1,494 yards rushing for Air Force in 1996. Robinson beat
that with a 12-yard run in the third quarter against the Badgers.

Jason Foster ran for 1,844 yards for Georgia Southern in 2007, setting the Football Championship Subdivision record.

mark in 1950 when he ran for 1,232 yards and passed for 1,168.
