Navy Pounds Eastern Michigan -Ballard Injured

The Eagles of Eastern Michigan resorted to dirty tactics to slow down Ballard this weekend. Because he had to leave the game early due to a sprained left ankle, his yearly stats were dented slightly. Ballards 21 yards on 2 carries gives him 754 yards on 143 carries on the year for a 5.3 yards per carry average. His his 21 yards this weekend has caused him to slip 10 spots to 48th in the country while his average of 5.3 ypc is good for 54th in the country, up from last weeks 61st ranking. His 81 yard rumble is still ranked 7th for the year.

It was a blow out, and had Ballard not been injured, he was on pace to get his 562 yards and 8 touchdowns like I projected in my video game simulation. The Eagles realized the task of stopping Ballard was unreasonable, so their coach instructed his players to shoot for Ballard’s ankles. Ballard could have returned, but since it was such an ass kicking, there was no need to have Ballard in the game. Behind Ballard, the Mids still lead the nation in rushing averaging 324.5 yards per game.
