Edwin Baker is a terrific running back, to bad he has to play in a program like OP. Hopefully someone will purchase a calculator that works so that statistics accurately reflect what happenned on the field, not just a Coach's PR spin to benefit his ego. Any players considering (or should I say being recruited) transfering to OP should reconsider playing for a real football program that will teach them character not "fuzy" math.

Taking nothing away from a fine football player, I think you nailed that Fballer. I know many others that have made comment as well.

I've actually observed it first hand several times while filming... of course, watching the game and tracking tendencies/stats/etc. later it's not odd to find Oak Park yardage numbers inflated by 50-70 percent in the papers the following morning.

I've never heard of resorting to such negative tactics so boldly. It has a tendency to piss off opposing programs that you'll end up playing sooner than later. Obviously, the chap doesn't feel the karma.

Either way, we can look for Baker to be used on the defensive side of the ball when/if he plays at Spartan Stadium in future days.

It's hard to believe that a kid gets 452 yards and the team comes from behind to win 26 -21. You would think that it would be a total blowout. Hmmm.

OK, here are Baker's numbers on the ground, direct from the Royal Oak statisticians book.

28 carries for 406 yards and 3 TDs.

Way to go Edwin... unreal effort !

If the kid is that good why do they have such a rough time winning? They have a hard time winning against bad teams.
