Albert Little came up huge with four rushing TDs against Northern Illinois in 1979 for the most ground scores in the history of Waldo Stadium.

Day 48 showcases how one player in 1979 was able to do everything he could possibly could to get across the goal-line and have one of the best rushing touchdown performances in Waldo Stadium history - as a QUARTERBACK.

Against Northern Illinois in 1979, Albert Little was anything but little as he rushed for four touchdowns in a 45-17 blowout win over the Huskies. It was a close game up until halftime but Little had enough and scored three of his four touchdowns in the third quarter that led to a 28-0 run for the Broncos that sent the Huskies home with the loss.

Despite the offensive outburst, Little did not rack up a ton of yards on the day.  His 16 carries for 29 yards gave him only a 1.8 yard per carry average but also gave him a 25.0 percent TD per carry average.
