Yo, Adrian Brown is #1 in TDs scored. Ruiz is 4th, and he's 20 yards behind leader Jamaine Cook in all purpose yards not rushing yards. Not sure where you found that 1st-downs stat, but that sounds like something Tamron Smith would lead.

I could be wrong, if so I am sorry. Going off the JSU announcer on the TV coverage of JSU game. I assume he got his stats from YSU SID. They said he passed up both Clark and Cook during that game. He passed up Smith in 1st-downs. Those could have been single game records ...but that is not what he announced.
Either way he is a truly phenomenal TB and he is our Bread & Butter back. Still scares me to think what will happen Saturday.

In 2 games our bread and butter back's name is Tevin McCaster. Nothing like getting started a couple games early. More concerned about who else we are missing. If it is DE or FS we are going to be hurting.

Didn't realize Ruiz was such a producer for your offense. I was under the impression that YSU employed a running back by committee sort of approach. How much did Ruiz sitting impact the performance against Wofford?
Edit: The stats sheet I was looking at had Wofford and Youngstown mixed up.

--- Quote from: BishopsFather2310 on December 14, 2016, 06:18:07 PM ---If I didn't know any better I would think this is a EWU forum with all these "if we wanna have a shot" quotes!!! First off no team has stopped or even really slowed our ground game, not even NDSU or SDSU, that's was just at a time when our offense was putrid and we were turning the ball over at an alarming rate! Well those days are behind us and we are playing great ball in every phase of the game other than last week's kicking game mishaps because Kennedy was hurt. EWU run defense is terrible, their biggest weakest is our biggest strength. You can run the football in any weather but I'm not sure you can throw with the same effectiveness @ 0° so advantage Guins there also! Another thing guys are losing the minds over is how many times can we run the ball without Ruiz, well Webb carried it 37 times Saturday with 1 fumble, as a team I think we ran it 49 times and Ruiz carried it 1x so that's something we need not worry about! Webb just broke the school record for single game All-Purpose yards and has been on an 1st Team All-American type rare since his knee is back to 100% but we are worried about someone that is not gonna b playing? Doesn't make sense to me. Now I am worried about both of our Safties being out but Powell has played well all year so I think we will b ok. This isn't the same team from earlier in the year, they will b fine!!! No one dimensional team can beat this Guins team, period!!! See you guys in Frisco!

Thanks for the laughs. Ask Richmond and their 1.3 ypc how they felt about our run defense.
And EWU one dimensional? Please. Our short passing game is our run game, not to mention when GG takes it up the middle because your back 7 is all in coverage, afraid to give up any more deep balls. We put up 44 on NDSU, and only lost after missing at FG at the end of regulation.
Am I saying YSU doesn't stand a chance? Not at all. But to act like YSU is a lock to win... laughable.

The fact that you said your passing gnaw is your run game lets me know your one dimensional, no your run game is your run game and passing is passing! Like I said, the Penguins won't lose to a one dimensional team, now if you guys can have an effective run game to go with your passing attack tomorrow, then you guys may win but if u don't, the Guins will be in Frisco in a few weeks. And also I'm pretty sure I was writing that message to my fellow Guin fans so I really don't understand why you commented but either way, have a good one and good luck tomorrow night...

I think you misunderstand our run game. Based on participation, if you read the issues we had this past week, under normal conditions our #1 back is Martin Ruiz, he is #1 all-time #1 in scoring, #1 in 1st-downs, and 20-yards from being #1 in rushing yards all-time. We have always been a running offense, so he is ahead of some pretty illustrious backs. We think of him as "thunder". Jody Webb is the "lightning". A space back we look to get the ball to him in any ways possible. When he gets to the next level, he gets big yards. McCaster is a natural FB, but we use him probably even more as a TB. He is a low-to-the-ground back and very efficient. I have lots of confidence in him, even though he is a frosh. Behind him we have another speed guy that only has couple of carries. His name is Joe Alessi. With the issues going on this week, I expect you will see him quite a bit. We average about 50-60 runs per game, with Ruiz taking a bulk of that load.

It was my understanding that Ruiz wouldn't be playing in this game due to that gun charge. I think he only had one rush against Wofford. But even without Ruiz, I think your run game is plenty capable. I thought Webb looked outstanding against Wofford, and YSU looked very complete against JSU.
I promise, I we don't take YSU lightly. However, I get the sense that a good portion of your fanbase takes EWU lightly, which I really don't mind that much. I think there is a perception that the Big Fluffy conference is a paper tiger. Surely we can't hang with the mighty MVFC...even though we already have, and not just this season. Recent past playoff performances show that EWU can play well with MVFC playoff teams.
I think your O-line, Webb (and Ruiz if he plays), and D are all elite. We will have our work cut out for us. You guys proved last week you will play the game to the end and endure a bad game but still come out on top. I don't think either team will roll over, and it will be a fight to the end.
