The run was also the longest run by an opponent in Texas Stadium. In addition, McClain had 139 rushing yards on the day.
During the 2008 season, McClain became the team's primary running-back as he rushed for a team-high 902 (3.9 average) yards and 10 touchdowns on 232 carries. He also caught 19 passes for 123 yards and a touchdown. McClain's performance earned him a Pro Bowl selection, in which he scored a touchdown off of a Fumblerooski play handed off by former Denver Broncos Quarterback Jay Cutler.Cutler put the ball between McClain's legs in which he ran in for a touchdown.
