They had McKoy listed as a starter on the TV graphic at the beginning of the game. I wondered why I didn't hear his name after that.
Later in the game the announcers mentioned Shaw and also mentioned McKoy was sitting his 2nd game as a coaches decision. Losing your leading RB and WR is no small loss, so I’m sure Lewis had good reason and I trust in him.

Can't remember the RB that started last year, but he could run and catch. I thought he had another year of eligibility??? Is he hurt, or did he graduate?

Justin Rankin. He transfered to a D2 powerhouse in Missouri (I forget the school). I was looking at his stats last weekend. Nearing 1000 yards rushing on the season. His team has 1 loss and is ranked somewhere around 10 in thr D2 standings and play an undefeated team this week. Rankin was always one of my favorite players. He put up some pretty solid numbers on some really bad offenses.
Northwest Missouri State University, a D2 power that is 9-1 right now.

“Played three seasons at Kent State … rushed for 574 yards and four touchdowns to go along with 14 receptions, 127 receiving yards and a touchdown in 2018 … rushed for 490 yards and three touchdowns, while catching 42 passes for 311 yards and two scores in 2017 … tallied 511 rushing yards and two touchdowns and caught 28 passes for 235 yards as a freshman in 2016”

In a difficult decision for Rankin, a new coaching staff, alongside other things, led to him reopening his recruitment for his final season of collegiate football earlier this year.

“It was one of those things where we just didn’t really see eye-to-eye,” Rankin said. “It was a hard decision, but I thought it was a better decision for my future.”

Rankin officially became a Bearcat in February, on national signing day, when he inked his transfer papers to come to Northwest.

Traditionally speaking, the Bearcats have a program of “home-grown” athletes, which means that seldom transfers are accepted into the program. Graduate Assistant running back coach Zach Martin knew Rankin was fit for a program like the Bearcats.

“We had a connection with someone at Kent State, they had nothing but good things to say about him,” Martin said. “By then, a guy that’s played at that level, we figured he could play here. … We brought him up for a visit in December — I actually picked him up from the airport. We got to talking, and I could just tell that he was our type of guy.
””
