Joining Wood are three capable runners in Derek Kendall-Campbell, De'Coreyon Thomas, and Christian Long.  Campbell averages 51.6 yards a game, while Thomas has 41.5 yards an outing and Long 40.0.

Leading the Hounds defense is linebacker Perron Sellers who has 71 tackles this season, or 10.1 per game to rank second in the conference and 24th nationally.  Former receiver now linebacker Seth Bailey has 52 tackles or 8.7 per game.

ENMU is averaging 336.4 yards of total offense a game to go with 23.7 points an outing, while allowing 454.7 yards defensively and 41.1 points an outing.
