Tradarian Ball Dazzles in Texas Win
Tradarian Ball's big game helped extend Texas's winning streak to six on Friday. Nobody could stop Ball as he rushed for 122 yards and two touchdowns, and also picked up 43 receiving yards. That's the most rushing yards he has posted since back in November of 2023.
Ball might have his next game, a road matchup with Marshall, circled on his calendar. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Ball saw the Mavericks), he rushed for 180 yards and a touchdown, and also threw for 32 yards and a touchdown.

Big Game from Johnson As Texas Won 51-10
Texas picked up their sixth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Javari Johnson. 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. Johnson rushed for 145 yards and three touchdowns on only 12 carries the last time he and the Wildcats duked it out back in October of 2023.
