We got a new rushing leader this week.

I'll try to get the passing and receiving up soon. Its hard because Maxpreps only shows 2 games for Murphy.

McClure still leading the conference in YPC but after the bye week the real competition starts, really excited if he can keep it up. You could tell it really helped once we decided to play our QB, he went from 3ypc to about 15ypc. Having him back gives Hayesville two dynamic players in the backfield and puts our best wr back at wr. Now Hayesville has 3 good receiving options 4 with our RB. Hayesville has the skill players to go toe to toe with any team in the conference. I might even say they have the second best allotment of skill players behind Robbinsville but can there line hold up is the question.

 

[FarWestNorthCarolinaSports]

QB usually have better ypc.
They run alot out of the pass which is a big advantage over a running back thats being keyed in on by the defense. QBs run vs a pass defense while running backs usually run vs run D.

 

[Gentle Knight]

Id say Murray is still leading in the rushing category if someone would upload Murphy's stats.

Asheville Citizens Times has him at 579 yds not counting the game against Life Christian Academy

Yes, YOU are the only one that would say that.

Murray might be second or 3rd, not 1st.
Murray wasn't even Murphy's leading rushing. Murray had less than 150yds because their leading back had 150 according to ACT. If Murray had over 110yds he is 2nd. Less than 110yds he is 3rd.

The McClure he is talking is a RB not a QB! He was saying that it is nice to finally have our starting QB back from injury so the WR that was playing QB is back at WR.

 

[Smctrain]

Yes, YOU are the only one that would say that.

I don’t think anyone would say that Hayesville has ever had lackluster skill players! The line play has always been an issue. Todd Gurley couldn’t run behind a weak line. So far the line play has been improved from years past.

 

[mbdfan_rivals121259]

Hayesville almost always has good skill people, most years they're in the top half of the conference. They probably had the most explosive collection of skill players in the conference on JV two years ago with the McClure's, Krieger and McTaggart. It's the line pay that lets them down.

The issue I see besides line play is the same issue I see at Andrews, no natural QB on their roster. H McClure and T Holloway are both great athletes but they're WR's at Murphy. They play QB at Hayesville and Andrews out of necessity.

 

[SMCtalk]

Hayesville's problem is injuries still with McTaggart out for the year. This team isn't as good as it could be with him. Now I wouldn't go saying they can go toe to toe. (That's asking for a butt whooping)lol. However I would say the rest of the conference after they play Hayesville could see improvements made for previous years.

a word of advice that some Fans need to hear this. Always keep the target off your back. Never pump your team up and always build up the other team before you play them. Even if you have an idea of how it's going to go, you don't have to say a word. It will always plays out. That way you don't look like an idiot when your team gets whooped by 30. But if your team wins dont talk about how bad they were. Instead talk about how good of a game plan you had for that game. I've been reading on here since 05 and I know it's all for fun. But whatever you do don't be the one putting that target on your team

Personally I think they both are better all around QBs than Rumfelt. Murphy’s offense doesn’t really call for a gun slinger of a QB. If they were at Murphy they would probably want to play WR to see a little more action. McClure might could play wing some. Most years and I say most not all the only job a Murphy QB has is to hand the ball off to the stable of backs they usually have. That is just my opinion and everyone knows the old saying about opinions.

It's obviously true that generally Murphy runs the ball a lot more than pass out of the Wing T and in the old days your description of a Murphy QB would mostly be accurate. But in the last 15 years Murphy has had a great run of QB's, much better at that position over that time frame than anyone else in the conference by far: McKeon '04-05, Charles '06-08, Curtis '09-11, M. Curry '12, Kent '13-14, J. Curry '15-17, Nelson '18.

Most of those QB's did a heck of a lot more than just "hand the ball off" and could have thrived in a more pass heavy offense. None of them really put up huge passing numbers besides Charles in '08 but that's much more a byproduct of Murphy's dominance running the football than them not having the requiste skillset to do so.

I disagree on Rumfelt, he can run and throw, he showed that on JV. He might just be a game manager type this year but he's also just a sophomore. With the graduation of Murray he'll take on a much bigger role in Murphy's offense next year with a season under his belt and 'Dogs bringing back every reciever. I definitely think you'll see Murphy throw it some more next year than they did last year or this year, the personnel dictates it in my opinion. Like you said just my opinion though, we all got em.

#28 Murray games 5, att. 88 ,yds 712 ,avg. 8.1 ,tds 6 ,ypf 142.4

 

[BulldogDad27-23]

I agree MBDFAN. Murphy has been blessed with great QBs for a very long time now. Those guys you listed threw for a lot of yards. They sure do alot more than just hand the ball off. I dont know what team scmtrain has been watching but it doesn't sound like the Murphy teams I have watched for 20 plus years. Charles and Curtis alone threw for a ton of yards. Heck one of Charles receivers had over 20 TDs in a season. We didnt throw alot last year but look at the backs we had. Rumfelt is a sophomore and I expect he will start putting up bigger numbers real soon. I think Rumfelt will have a great career. He can run and pass very well imo. Just a gut feeling but I'm thinking Murphy's offensive game will be much more balanced from this point on as conference play and then playoffs begin.

I did say most years not all. I agree that some of them if not all would have flourished in a pass heavy offense. They were great athletes on great teams I don’t want to take anything away from any of them. McClure is in his first year as starting QB and has put up some good numbers despite missing 2 games due to injury. Rumfelt is a good QB but his talents haven’t really been utilized because of the offense. Like I said he is very talented no doubt about it and I am sure when they need him to he will step up and be great.
