Who was the last running back to be the leading rusher in a Super Bowl game played in the state where he played his college ball?

Answer

C.J. Anderson. He played his college ball at Cal and helped Denver win a Super Bowl in the Bay Area three years ago, rushing for 90 yards at Levi’s Stadium in a 24-10 win over Carolina.
