Ballard Came Up Big in Lucy Beckham's 42-38 Loss
While Lucy Beckham might've come up empty on Friday, Chalmers Ballard wasn't going down without a fight. Stratford had no answer to Ballard as he rushed for 85 yards and two touchdowns, and also threw for 283 yards and two touchdowns while completing 73.7% of his passes. Ballard is becoming a predictor of Lucy Beckham's success: when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns the team is 3-1 (and 1-2 when he doesn't).
On the year, Ballard has thrown 11 touchdowns while averaging 173.6 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he had one rushing touchdown. This year he is already up to nine.

He is on a roll when it comes to rushing touchdowns, as he's now punched in two or more in the last three games he's played dating back to last season.
On the year, Davis has averaged 182.4 passing yards per game.
