Sam Jones Game Report: vs Eastern

For the first time in his career, Sam Jones scored a rushing touchdown on Friday. He rushed for 23 yards and one score, but sadly Northwestern still had to take a 44-14 loss at the hands of Eastern. We rated that as his best performance since October 18th, 2024, when he made eight total tackles and snagged an interception.

Looking ahead, Jones and Northwestern will hit the road for the first time this season to challenge Southwood at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The last time Jones duked it out with the Knights (back in September of 2024), the Tigers came out on top by a score of 28-16. Will another strong game from Jones be enough to do it again?
