Jakhire Witherspoon Delivers Best Performance of Season
On Friday, Booker T. Washington had to settle for second even though Jakhire Witherspoon put up the best numbers he has all season. Witherspoon wasn't messing around, picking up a sack and making 11 total tackles (3.0 for loss). The matchup was his third straight with six or more total tackles. He is becoming a predictor of Booker T. Washington's success: when he posts at least four total tackles the team is 2-1 (and 1-4 when he doesn't).
