Evan Royster 6′1 213 Penn State Junior

vs. Iowa 2009

Stats: 17 carr. 69 yds. 1 fumble

Game Analysis: There is nothing dynamic about Royster… his speed is average, his quickness is average, but his toughness and consistency make him stand out. On this night however, a rare inconsistent night, Royster cost his team the game with two crucial mistakes. He let a pass bounce right off his hands in the fourth quarter which allowed the Iowa defense to intercept it and run it in for a TD. On the following drive, during a nice 10 yd run, he fumbled it to seal the win for Iowa. I hope he comes back strong next week.

Charles Scott 6′1 234 LSU Senior

vs. Georgia 2009

Stats: 19 carr. 95 yds. 2 tds.

Game Analysis: Scott is a tough, physical runner with okay lateral movement and decent burst in the open field. He makes most of his big plays by lowering his shoulders and running over defenders, and that is exactly what he did against Georgia. He was consistently a hassle to bring down and though he had mostly runs less than 10 yards most of the game, he had two big plays in the fourth quarter that put LSU on top. The first was a 15 yd screen pass where he plowed his way to the first down. The second was a long TD run to seal the win on a play in which he broke a couple of tackles near the line of scrimmage and then accelerated to the end zone. Teams in need of a power back will love him as he is comparable to a poor man’s Brandon Jacobs.
