That was a pretty non-responsive response. If Elliott is better than Jude, then do you not expect that Highlands will hold Jude to under 4 yards a carry like they did Elliott? If not, why not? You say that Elliott was harder to bring down than Jude will be and Ryle had a passing attack that they used against Highlands. I am just trying to follow your logic in concluding that Elliott is a better back but you are not helping me out. :biggrin:

I couldn't speak for JJ, and would not disrespect him. But for my money, Elliott is the best back in the State. He has played against the best competition in the state and put up numbers against the best 6A district in the state. He was coming off the concussion that he recieved in the Campbell County game when they played HHS the 2nd time, and Ryle went to Hempel out of the backfield. The Elliott that I just watched this Friday is a D1 level player.

I only know about JJ from the writings of this website. I seen no other stories from any other median, but I take the judgements from everyone who has seen him play. Will JJ get more than 4 yards a pop, he may well be able to. But you can't make the comparison to Elliott from that. I'd ask the Bird fans after Friday's game, they have seen Travis several times over the past few years and will get to witness JJ this week.
