R.J. Bowers didn't think his all-division career rushing record would last forever. He just didn't figure it would be in jeopardy so soon.

"I believe Tony Dorsett [of Pitt] was the first to go over 6,000 yards, and folks thought that record would stand a long time," said Bowers, who set the NCAA record from 1997-2000 at Division III Grove City College. "I go over 7,000, and here is another gentleman who is going to top that."

Danny Woodhead of Chadron State last week joined Bowers as the only players to top 7,000 yards rushing in college football. If Woodhead runs for 121 yards for the Division II Eagles against Western New Mexico Saturday, he'll pass Bowers' mark of 7,353.

Woodhead set an all-division single-season record with 2,756 yards rushing last year.

Safety Tony Joiner practiced yesterday, one day after he was charged with felony burglary for allegedly trying to take his girlfriend's car out of a towing company's impound lot.

Coach Urban Meyer stripped Joiner of his captain's status and said the senior starter has not been cleared to play Saturday at top-ranked LSU. Meyer said Joiner would not see the field as long as he is charged with a felony.
