How many carries?

I don't know. I would have to do some digging, so I think I will wait until JC turns in its stats. Hopefully, that will be after the Golden Eagles win the 5A title. Last season, Davenport averaged about a yard more a carry. However, you have to realize that JC runs Jude a lot up the middle in short yardage situations.

Yards per carry is not everything when you are comparing running backs. Who would you rather give the ball to in an obvious 4th down running situation where you only needed a couple of yards? (Assuming both had the same lineman and backs blocking for them.)

Davenport's speed is an advantage in the open field but Jude's strength makes him a more versatile runner.
