CALIFORNIA, Pennsylvania -- When it comes to style of play, particularly on offense, California University has little in common with NCAA Division II playoff foe Elizabeth City State (N.C.). That's because Elizabeth City State (8-3) thrives on the running game, while the Vulcans (9-2) love to move the ball quickly through the air.
The teams collide at noon Saturday at Adamson Stadium in a Super Region One first rounder. Cal is seeded fourth and Elizabeth City fifth in the region.
While Cal has a solid running attack, led by Lamont Smith with 995 yards on 115 carries and two touchdowns, those stats pale in comparison to Vikings running back Daronte McNeill, who has carried the ball 334 times for 1,580 yards and scored 22 TDs. He is ranked fifth in the nation in rushing, first in attempts and third in touchdowns.
Elizabeth City State's second-leading rusher, Kevin Swain, has 624 yards on 131 carries with five TDs.
