Davis rolled up 94 yards on 14 carries Saturday -- Spiller 18 yards on six carries.

But, as I mentioned earlier, you must not forget about Reggie. Reggie Merriweather, in his typical fashion, scooted his way to 76 yards on nine carries. Let's all do the math together ... that's 8.3 yards-per-carry. Outstanding. Did I mention he had a touchdown as well?

It was awesome to hear the chants of "Reggie! Reggie! Reggie!" come down from the stands. He's a fan favorite, there can be no doubt. It was even better, though, to watch James Davis jump with excitement after Merriweather's one-yard touchdown run. The boys in the backfield are clearly in this thing together.
