One of the statistics kept in football is rushing yards. A 'rushing title' basically means the same as 'who led the league in rushing yards'. The player that wins a 'rushing title' is the player 'who led the league in rushing yards'. Rushing yards are accrued when an offensive player advances the ball past the line of scrimmage without the aid of a forward pass.
In 2005, McGahee led in rushing yards with 1,247, with Williams coming way behind in second with only 161 yards rushing.
Stephen Davis led the team in rushing that year with 1,318 yards. Larry Centers was second with 103 yards.
