Lorenn "Bubba" Johnson Delivers Best Performance of Season
Lorenn "Bubba" Johnson produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Johnson to the win on Friday. Johnson's rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his 15th straight game with at least 103 rushing yards dating back to last season. The dominant performance also gave him a new career-high in rushing yards.
Johnson is probably looking forward to his next game, a home matchup against Madison on Friday. Back in November of 2023 (the last time Johnson saw the Mavericks), he rushed for 222 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 9.3 yards per carry, and also caught a touchdown.

Noah Logsdon Sets Career High in Rushing Yards
Brandeis was led to victory by Noah Logsdon, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. 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 will try to repeat (or improve) on that dominant effort when he faces off against Clark on Friday. Logsdon will face off against Xavier Canavis on Friday, the Cougars' star RB. Will the contest be decided in the trenches? We'll have our answer very soon.

Big Game from Pavlicek As Churchill Fell 45-27
While Churchill might've come up empty on Friday, Hunter Pavlicek wasn't going down without a fight. Brandeis had no answer to Pavlicek as he rushed for 62 yards and two touchdowns, and also threw for 117 yards and a touchdown.
This season, Pavlicek has thrown 5 touchdowns while averaging 109.5 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he had four rushing touchdowns. This year he is already up to seven.
