Athens Drive Jaguars
The Jaguars have struggled early, starting 0-2, but RB Tyrese Madry has been a bright spot, averaging an impressive 148 rushing yards per game and nearly all of Athens’ total offense. QB play and passing production remain limited, leaving the offense one-dimensional. On defense, LB James Cochran has been disruptive, posting 7 tackles and 3.0 sacks per game, but Athens will need better overall team defense after giving up 62 points in two games.
