I looked it up. Before this game:
Phillip Lindsay year to date................... games 10 Attempts 168 .Gain 946 .Loss 12 .Net 934
Phillip Lindsay Nov. 19 ......................... ............... attempts 31 .Gain 47 ..Loss 3 ..Net 144
so, yeah, net yards 1078 so far this season.
I am always amazed that someone his size keeps churning 1, 2, 3, 7 more yards after contact. So tough.
Here's the list of all Buffs who have rushed more than 1,000 yards in a season. I believe Lindsay will be the 14th player to do so.

He's not listed on the cubuffs.com official "over 1,000 yards in a season" page, so you might hit up Dave Plati and let him know to fix it.
Here's where I got my info, the Buffapedia if you will.
A little more info on Hugh Charles is HERE (BIO).
And you are CORRECT - maybe:
Hugh Charles, 2007, with 12 games, and 1058 total yards. Good catch, HuskerHater.
Hugh Charles 2007 Stats.
Oddly enough, it states he had 989 yards on the year in his bio, and then states 1058 career rushing for 2007 on his stats page. As we say, something doesn't add up.

Bowl games haven't always counted in official annual stats. I don't know what year that change was made. Perhaps that's why? It's a really dumb distinction that at one point bowl games count, but before that time bowl games don't count.
Plati doesn't like it that the NCAA changed the stats record keeping to include bowl games, so he took it upon himself to only count the regular season in CU's official records book. Stupid, IMO. Would have been better to go back and update everyone's stats historically to include the bowl games or just go with the flow. Instead, he arbitrarily deflates CU's stats against the rest of D-1.

Thanks for clarification. Problem is that ought to be an asterisk on Hugh Charles stats and/or bio page instead of showing the two different numbers with zero explanation. Plus, come on, why not let Hugh in the exclusive 1,000+ club. Who is it gonna hurt?

It will help his visibility if he shows well in our bowl game. By the way, we are going to a bowl game. I just like to say that. Bowl game. Bowl game. Bowl game.
I doubt it. He's a good, hard nosed player but the way this offense is constructed, he won't be a statistical leader.
Unfortunately, I tend to agree. Most likely, the yards will be spread out between Lindsay, Montez, and the receivers. Evans and Bisharat will get some touches, too, although I hope they continue to make Phillip the bell cow.

Nice work AJ. I remember that '07 final game against the nubs. Basketball score game. In the final moments Ellis was in and took one to the house to seal it. I was miffed because the announcers had said Hugh was about 15 yards short of 1k. Too bad he didn't get that final carry.
PL has come a long way for a small RB. Very fast first 2 steps, and he often spins out of initial hits. A really cool college RB and a guy who has hugely exceeded expectations.
Lindsay (and Sefo) have hearts as big as the Flatirons, and will always be remembered as stalwarts of the MM 2016 Buff turnaround.

One of the reasons (IMO) Christan McCaffrey was a Heisman candidate briefly was because Stanford gave him the bulk of the carries, so he had wonderful stats. Like 99.9 % of every play it seemed. Two problems with this: you wear out your player and put him at risk of injury, and the opponents figure out who to stop. Stanford not doing as well as they should be with their overall talent, but the idea that you give the ball to one guy every down is pretty easy to defend.
