The numbers, or so it would seem, tell the Charlie Jarvis story pretty clearly: Start with the 2,334 career rushing yards, that still rank him eighth on Army's all-time rushing list, even though freshmen didn't play varsity ball in the 1960s, not to mention the fact that his alma mater has played run-oriented, option football for most of the last 35 years. There's also the 1,110 rushing yards as senior in the fall of 1968, including the 253 yards against Boston College. He could also catch the ball AND was an excellent punter.
It all adds up to a sterling career.
