Davie’s offensive numbers are improving rapidly. QB Jacob Barber has rushed for 176 yards and thrown for 393 since missing opening night with bruised ribs. Skeeter Montgomery(244 rushing yards) and Nick Bohannon have provided a serviceable running game. Joe Watson (13 catches, 247 yards, three TDs) leads the receiving corps. Devaron Scott, a 300-pounder, is a force on the O-line.
Davie’s defensive numbers (20.8 points, 303.8 yards per game) still aren’t attractive, but they are headed in the right direction.
