Doesn’t surprise me at all that JC averages two yds per carry more than Boyle, that’s what JC does is run the ball, you do realize Boyle’s QB has around 3000 yds passing with I believe 40 TD passes on the season Boyle’s offense isn’t built for the QB to run ball they have a balanced offense, and if you’re comparing Boyle’s offense to MNH you’re in for a rude awakening.

If you are comparing Johnson Central's offense to any other team on Boyle County's schedule, then it is you who are in for a rude awakening. IMO, Boyle County was not very impressive in its game against an inexperienced Central team. I assume that they will play better next week but if they don't, then it will not be a pleasant experience for them.

As for the BC quarterback, he obviously has a strong and accurate arm and a stable of talented receivers. However, he just did not look very mobile against Central, which is why I looked up his rushing yardage. I thought he might have some nagging injury slowing him down. For a high school QB on an elite team that played a fairly weak schedule (as did JC), I really did not expect to find that he had negative rushing yardage on the season. I think that it is a safe bet that JC will do all they can to chase Lanter out of the pocket and if they succeed, then I don't expect him to scramble very far.

I would expect that a balanced attack would result in a better average per attempt (whether by ground or by air) than a more one dimensional offense would, particularly if the quality of line play was equal. My point is - JC has one of the elite offensive lines in the state, which has been true in most years of the Matney era - and I believe that is a major factor contributing to their gaudy rushing numbers. That, and the fact that Johnson Central's offense fits Riley Preece like a glove.
