Morehead

Our next opponent is the Morehead State Eagles from down the road in Morehead, KY. Last year’s contest in Morehead was probably one of the most exciting I have ever seen. I expect this one at Welcome Stadium will be just as exciting as last year. Morehead is led on offense by Sr QB Austin Gahafer. This guy is the real deal. He has a QB rating of 120 and has thrown for 1271 yd with 9 TDs and 4 INTs. He will throw it, and throw it often. His favorite target is R Sr Slot WR Jake Raymond who has 36 catches for 475 yd. The next leading receiver is Christian Robinson with 15 grabs for 164 yd. There are a total of 5 receivers with 9 or better catches on the season. Clearly, though, the QB's favorite by far is Raymond. In the running game, they are led by RBs Ryan Watkins and Lawrence Jones who are averaging 49 and 41 yd/gm, respectively, on the year. As a team, they are averaging 123 yd/gm on the ground. They are definitely a throwing heavy team, with 254 yd/gm average through the air. On defense, Morehead has always been very stout. They are led by Sr LB Ryan Bennett with 41 stops on the year. Their second leading tackler, also an LB, is Kameron Able with 36 tackles year to date. I also have to mention their DT, Jr Colt Briggs, who was the PFL Defensive Player of the week last week against Valpo. He is tied as the 3rd leading tackler on the team with 36 hits.

Needless to say, this is a very important game for the Flyers. We are facing a very good team with talent all around and will need to be on our “A game”. On offense, we need to continue to pound the rock. Morehead’s defense has been giving up an average of 200 yd/gm on the ground. We need to establish the run early and often to get a win at Welcome this weekend. In contrast, Morehead is only surrendering 169 yd/gm through the air. However, we will need to be able to make some big pass plays also to be successful. On defense, we definitely need to get pressure on their QB Gahafer. If I remember correctly, they like to throw the ball fairly quickly. Our front four will need to get a good push to at least disrupt the QB’s rhythm. We will need a very strong game by our secondary. With the one WR, Raymond, getting so many receptions, I wonder if we will bracket him somehow.

If we can improve as a team on last week’s performance, we have a good shot of being successful at Welcome Stadium this coming Saturday. I hope the fans turn out in full force to cheer the Flyers to victory. Go Dayton Flyers!!!!!!!!!!

I have definitely noticed that he is playing with much more passion and a sense of urgency. Thanks for posting that PF

Exciting game to watch, couple brain farts in the secondary but other than that a great outing for the Flyers. Shame we played SDU so eartly in the season, They appear to be the team to beat. SDU does not play the Dolphins so JU will be playing for a possible co-championship against us and hope the tiebreakers go their way. Lot of football yet to go but unless lighting strikes twice we probably are not playoff bound.

Defense miscues

Definitely had some big miscues on the defensive side of the ball. However, I think it had more to do with our getting our calls signaled in from the sidelines than it did by mistakes of the players on the field. Morehead would set their offense, pause and look to their sideline to see if the coach wanted to run a different play based on our set, then run the play. We were attempting to adjust after their adjustment (if that makes any sense) and it made it difficult for our secondary to get the right call. If you watched the game, on a third and two in the second half Morehead snapped the ball and our D-line was standing up right. I am not a big fan of waiting so late in the play to set our defense. This also happened to us last year on D when an opponent snapped the ball when we had folks standing waiting for the play call. Hopefully we can correct this for next week.

Offense

We totally dominated Morehead on the offensive side of the ball. Our line opened some gaping holes (very often I might add) and our RBs and QB ran the ball very well. Was very impressed with both Ruffing and Yinger, they made a lot of defenders miss and at times just ran right through people. Accumulating over 400 yd on the ground at the collegiate level is very impressive, and, I might add, hard to do. Our passing game was also very effective with some nice catches by Euritt and Skibinski. I imagine that Ruffing will be a nominee for the PFL player of the week with the yardage and 3 TDs. Go Dayton Flyers!

PFL Special Teams Player of the Week

Big Congrats to William Will for being named the PFL Special Teams Player of the Week! He had nine successful kicks on the day accounting for 15 of our total 51 points. Will also broke a number of records listed below. Very impressive day by our kicker.

"His first field goal gave him sole possession of Dayton's career field goal record. His second PAT set a new UD record for consecutive point after touchdowns kicked. Will's third field goal matched his career best of 49 yards and was also the 49th of his career. That tied him with Drake alum and former NFL Kicker Billy Cundiff for the PFL career record."
