Eastern NM Greyhounds rely on youth for running game
Eastern New Mexico University faces a thin backfield with only two seniors on the roster and no quarterback with in-game experience. Coach Jack Scott emphasizes replacing backs and developing a strong ground game while leveraging a volunteer from Frenship. Junior Joe Rogans and Lem Jenkins compete at running back, with Don Stravio at quarterback. Five veterans anchor the defense as the Greyhounds prepare for a tougher schedule starting September 9 against Panhandle State.
