Davis really tore up the turf during one magnificent 97-yard run. 82 of Griffin's passing yards were hauled in by Kaleb Smith, who also brought in a receiving touchdown.

They were just one part of a punishing run game: Jesuit was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 207 rushing yards. That's the most rushing yards they've managed all season.

Jesuit didn't go easy on the quarterback and picked off two passes before the game was over. The picks came courtesy of Kam Housey and King Powell. Powell has been hot recently, having also posted five or more total tackles the last four times he's played. Rashaun Fitts Jr. was another major factor on D, making 13 total tackles (2.0 for loss) and defending one pass.

Meanwhile, University played a tough matchup on Friday in which they were outscored in every quarter. They had to suffer through a 38-7 loss at the hands of Flagler Palm Coast. The Titans were in a tough position after the first half, with the score already sitting at 28-7.

Jesuit couldn't quite finish off University in their previous meeting back in October of 2024 and fell 35-33. Thankfully for the Tigers, Anthony May (who rushed for 165 yards and two scores on only ten carries) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result? There's only one way to find out.
