Johnson Gets a Boost from Johnson in 21-3 Win
Lorenn "Bubba" Johnson's rushing tear continued on Friday as he dropped his 15th-straight game with 103+ rushing yards dating back to last season. He rushed for 259 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 10.0 yards per carry. The dominant performance gave him a new career-high in rushing yards.

A Season-Best Effort from Noah Logsdon Leads Brandeis over Churchill
On Friday, Brandeis got the W thanks in part to Noah Logsdon playing the best football he has all season. Logsdon rushed for 207 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 10.9 yards per carry, and also picked up 30 receiving yards and a touchdown, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. That high mark didn't come from nowhere: he has now rushed for 112 or more in the last three games he's played dating back to last season.
Logsdon's next match is against Clark on Friday, where he'll look to repeat that solid effort. Logsdon will face off against Xavier Canavis on Friday, the Cougars' star rusher. With so much talent on the field, fans are surely in for an exciting game. The only thing left to see is who brings home the W.

This year, Pavlicek has thrown 5 touchdowns while averaging 109.5 passing yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he had two passing touchdowns.
