Kalamazoo, Michigan � Wow. That�s all you can say about Dave Myers effort today. Myers was a preseason all-american but faulted early in the season. Well the past 3 games have bounced him back into contention. Some people still don�t know about Myers, but after today the whole country will be buzzing

Dave Myer�s Magical Day: Where shall we start? Okay let�s start with the running. He had a longs of 71 and 64 yards. Both were for scores. He scored 4 rushing touchdowns, and 1 return touchdown. After the first hit he had 105 yards. Myers had two 20+ runs and 6 broken tackles. He yet again had no fumbles for the millionth straight game. Oh and also 194 yards rushing on only 17 carries! That�s an average of 11.4 folks. So how many yards together did he have today? 441 yards total by Mr. Myers. Oh yeah and he had a 107 yard field goal kick returned for a touchdown. I would say that was a pretty darn good day.

The Rest of WMU: On offense they gained 760 total yards. On defense they did give up 447 yards, which is a little too much. But hey, if you still gain 300 more yards, then you should be fine. Lee Holiday, well he�s just torching defenses still. He had another 300 yard performance. 374 yards and 4 touchdowns by going 23-32 with no picks. Patrick Phillips is looking like he�s going to be a long term threat at slot. He had 142 yards catching on 6 catches with 1 touchdown. Kevin Brown as usual led the way with 9 catches for 109 yards with 2 TD grabs.

What�s Next: Western Michigan heads to Temple in their toughest conference test so far. It could be a good game if Temple can stop Dave Myers. Speaking of Myers, if he or Holiday doesn�t creep into the Heisman watch, then that is just stooped. They both have been torching defenses together the past 3 games. Holiday has combined for over 900 passes in the 3 games while Myers has over 800 combined yards.
