I'm proud to announce that the vaunted Wishbone attack of the West Virginia State Yellow Jackets has produced a record setting performance.

RS Sr Craig Miller has broken the all time rushing record for all of Division II with a mark of 4,517 yards. Even more impressive is that he achieved this milestone in only 14 games, with an average of 322.6 yards per game. Craig finishes his career as a 1st Team All American and 3 time NSIC Offensive Player of the Year. He was also the NSIC Rookie of the Year and a 3rd Team All American as a RS Freshman.

While the season ended somewhat abruptly with an OT loss in the first round of the playoffs, the school's AD states that he is "proud of Craig, proud of the team, and is very pleased with the progress of the entire program under 5th year coach harriswb3."

Excellent work!

This guy was in my first recruiting class at this rebuild. He was the only one toting the rock as a RS Frosh. During his next two seasons I had some other RBs that I could share the load with and do some experimentation. He would have easily been over 3000 yards as a RS soph, and probably near to 4000 as a RS junior.

In every season and every game we were "running the clock", so that cut out a few carries as well. His YPC improvement season over season is what I'm most excited about. If I can reproduce that consistently.......

Next season we find out what really works. I have a RS Senior who has been riding the pine. He is speedy and elusive...but low on STR. Ive tried to get him in the lineup, but he just never gave me the "pop" that I needed. Next season he will be in the number 1 slot and will have a chance to prove himself. Since starting back at this game, with this team, I've changed some of my previous philosophy on what is important and what is not.

Congrats!
