... in 2005, sophomore running back Rafael Little was named National Player of the Week by SI.com after his monster performance in a 48-43 shootout victory against Vanderbilt. Little did everything but kick field goals and call plays as he managed to gain 372 all-purpose yards. This number was the highest in the nation in 2005. The second most in University history. And third most in Southeastern Conference history. The South Carolina native had 198 yards rushing on 28 carries and three touchdowns, all career highs. He added five catches for 86 yards and returned two punts for 88 yards for the final tally. After the Vanderbilt game, Rafael Little led the nation in all-purpose yards per game, averaging nearly 194 yards per contest.
