on the tandem of Bryce Wilder and

Elijah Farrakhan. Both have combined for

1,874 rushing yards on 286 attempts through

seven games. These stats equate to 267

on 80 carries for a game average of 68 yards.

When McKinley choses to pass, two year

downfield to Angelo Powell, Alex Parton, Taron Montgomery and Matt Ogletree. These four receivers average 26 yards per catch as a group.
