Tradarian Ball Delivers Electric Performance Vs Whitehouse

If history really does repeat itself, Ball might just drop another big game when he faces off against Marshall on Friday. Ball rushed for 180 yards and a touchdown, and also threw for 32 yards and a touchdown the last time he and the Mavericks duked it out back in October of 2023.

Johnson Came Up Big in Texas' 51-10 Win
Javari Johnson's big game helped extend Texas's winning streak to six on Friday. Johnson turned in nothing short of a gem, rushing for 95 yards and two touchdowns on only nine carries.
Whitehouse's probably not too fond of Johnson given he always seems to get the better of them. When Johnson last faced the Wildcats back in October of 2023, he rushed for 145 yards and three touchdowns on only 12 carries.
