Tradarian Ball's Big Game Leads Texas over Whitehouse
Texas picked up their sixth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Tradarian Ball. Ball was unstoppable, rushing for 122 yards and two touchdowns, while also picking up 43 receiving yards. That's the most rushing yards he has posted since back in November of 2023.
If the past is any indication, Ball could be in store for another big game when he takes on Marshall on Friday. When Ball last faced the Mavericks back in October of 2023, he rushed for 180 yards and a touchdown, and also threw for 32 yards and a touchdown.

Texas Gets a Boost from Johnson in 51-10 Win
Texas picked up their sixth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Javari Johnson. Whitehouse had no answer to Johnson as he rushed 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.
