Lorenn "Bubba" Johnson's Big Game Leads Johnson over Reagan
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.
If history really does repeat itself, Johnson might just drop another big game when he faces off against Madison on Friday. When Johnson last faced the Mavericks back in November of 2023, he rushed for 222 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 9.3 yards per carry, and also caught a touchdown.

Noah Logsdon Delivers Best Performance of Season
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.
This year, Logsdon has caught those 1 touchdown while averaging 21 receiving yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 42.83 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 130.17 rushing yards.

On the year, 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 was only averaging 15.33 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 54.83 rushing yards.
