Ruben was noted for his hard-charging play and ground-gaining ability in the clutch at the University of Minnesota, although his career was hampered by injuries. Coach Sig Harris said, "Eddie was very spirited. After one Yom Kippur, he came out to practice after fasting all day and ended up with a broken collarbone."
