A trio of running backs - Javon Ringer (5-9, 202, Jr.), Jehuu Caulcrick (6-0, 255, Sr.) and A.J. Jimmerson (5-10, 202, So.) - combined to rush for 307 yards and five touchdowns. Ringer paced the well-balanced ground attack with 130 yards on 15 carries, including a 65-yard TD run. Caulcrick rushed 20 times for 95 yards, including TD runs of 1, 7 and 2 yards, while Jimmerson added 82 yards on 16 attempts, including a 32-yard scoring run.
"Once again, I was pleased with the intensity and effort," Coach Dantonio said. "What I liked most was that I saw guys making plays on both sides of the football. Again, it was a competitive scrimmage with the outcome not decided until the last series or two.
"We saw some great individual performances by the running backs today. All three of those backs - Javon (Ringer), Jehuu (Caulcrick) and A.J. (Jimmerson) - produced big runs. When the running game is flowing like that, you have to give credit to the guys up front. The linemen got the job done."
