Chuba Tracker: Hubbard Inching Closer to More Milestones

No. 30 played his 30th game as a Cowboy on Saturday, as he continues to chase Oklahoma State’s rushing greats.

Chuba Hubbard ran for 139 yards and a touchdown on 25 carries in the Pokes’ 24-21 win against Iowa State on Saturday. That brings his career yardage to 3,312, just 97 yards behind Tatum Bell for eighth on OSU’s all-time list.

Hubbard’s touchdown against Iowa State might have been the best of his career.

The play started to the left, but Hubbard had to make a cut behind the line of scrimmage and run back right. Four Cyclones then surrounded him at the line of scrimmage, but he was able to accelerate back left and run 32 yards to the end zone.

It was the 33rd rushing touchdown of Hubbard’s career. That puts him eighth on OSU’s all-time list, a single score away from a tie for sixth.
