Single game rushing attempts is 45 by a single MIZZOU player. Without looking it up, who was it?
The national record is for the birds.

45, Zain Gilmore vs. Texas Tech, 10/30/99
I remembered the game, but I couldnt remember who the RB was. I remember him saying that after the game he was so tired, he just went home and went to bed, even though it was his birthday. 1pm kick btw.
Missouri
Zain Gilmore, 1999 vs. Texas Tech
During a miserable stretch of games during a miserable stretch of seasons for Missouri football, Gilmore provided a reprieve on Oct. 30, 1999 — his 20th birthday.
The sophomore had been sharing carries, but after DeVaughn Black fumbled — for the third time in as many games — early in the contest, coach Larry Smith decided it was Gilmore Time.
Gilmore carried 45 times — a school record that still stands — for 165 yards and three touchdowns. He carried 17 times on Mizzou’s 19-play final drive that ate 10:23 off the clock and ended with Gilmore scoring from the 1.
The Tigers beat the Red Raiders 34-7, their only win in the season’s final seven games.
