CHADRON, Neb. - Danny Woodhead set an NCAA all-division record for rushing yards in a season and scored four touchdowns in Chadron State's 43-17 victory Saturday over West Texas A&M in the second round of the Division II playoffs.
Woodhead ran for 252 yards to raise his season total to 2,740, passing the mark of 2,653 set by Kavin Gailliard of American International in 1999.
Woodhead and the Eagles (12-0) travel to Northwest Missouri State for the quarterfinals.
Chadron erased a 17-12 halftime deficit after recovering a fumble by Buffaloes' quarterback Dalton Bell on the opening series of the second half. The Eagles went up 19-12 on Tyler Hidrogo's short touchdown pass to Woodhead.
The TD started a 31-point second-half outburst by the Eagles.
Bell finished with 178 yards passing and two touchdowns for the Buffs (11-2), who set a school record for wins.
West Texas A&M safety Darnell Johnson recovered a Woodhead fumble on the second play from scrimmage, and Bell threw a 2-yard touchdown pass to Shaun Scott-Jones for a 7-0 lead.
Woodhead's 22-yard run on Chadron's next series capped an 11-play, 80-yard drive.
The Buffs went up 17-7 on Bell's 2-yard pass to Charly Martin and Jon Roberts' 29-yard field goal.
Travis Atter's 35-yard field goal pulled Chadron to 17-10, and it was a five-point game at half after the Eagles recorded a safety.
