Big Game from Ballard As Lucy Beckham Fell 42-38
Lucy Beckham had to settle for second on Friday, but Chalmers Ballard sure wasn't going down easily. Ballard was dynamite, rushing for 85 yards and two touchdowns, while also throwing for 283 yards and two touchdowns while completing 73.7% of his passes. Lucy Beckham is 3-1 when Ballard posts two or more rushing touchdowns, but 1-2 otherwise.
