P.J. had 19 rushes for 128 yards!!! Sherrell had 11 rushes for 28 yards!!! I retract any previous comments about Sherrell being the best back in the MAC. He didn't impress me all that much tonight at all! I'm glad to see P.J. getting back into form but I have to wonder if it was because EMU's defense is terrible against the run.

Is that correct? I thought Sherrell had over 100 yesterday.

That gametracker must have been way off last evening. They had Sherrell over 100 yards.

I never really saw any huge plays from him and I did see some tackles in the backfield. The stats I posted were from the BG website's box score. If they are inaccurate, sorry!!

No, I'm sorry. I believe you are correct. I tried to follow the game using gametracker and it showed Sherrell as breaking off a 60 yard run, which obviously was wrong. I'm just glad to see that we played good run defense and were able to gain some yards on the ground. I'm glad I don't have to follow the game on gametracker to often, because it was slow and frustrating as hell. The next three weeks will be better though since I will be making the trip for the WMU and MU games, and able to watch the UT game.

yep, Gametracker kept up pretty well for a little while, but I remember seeing the 60+ yard run on there too. They also failed to mention the roughing the punter call, and never did give DiBacco credit for the TD catch (or any catches, actually) on the stats page.

It was good enough to keep me somewhat informed, but the details were obviously quite a bit less than accurate. Hmmm....

Running something like gametracker has to be fairly difficult, so I can see missing a few plays here and there, but inventing a play that never happened?

I think the hardest part of it would be that sometimes the spots aren't "right on", so a 9 yard run could look like an 8 yard run, depending on perspective. Other than that, its pretty easy, especially in football, where there's time to carefully enter information. And, if its anything like they use for basketball, its just a matter of typing in code. A 9 yard Pope run would be something like H, 33, R, 9. (As in "Home #33, rush, 9 yard gain... going by how they do the stats for hoops.)

But you're right, slipping up and giving a guy a 64 yard run is quite the error. *laugh* They also had Crossley's TD as an interception, but that seems like it was as much a "rules decision" as anything, and the six points still spend the same!!

Which is actually a good thing. What I did notice was our secondary and a certain cornerback getting burned deep alot. Come on Coach Joseph , whip these guys into shape!

BG held EMU to 45 yards on 27 carries....

Although that #19 for EMU was a stud at WR.
