Jacoby Newman Turns in Season-Best Effort
Sadly, Jacoby Newman posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead Northeastern over Mechanicsburg on Friday. Newman picked up 176 receiving yards and two touchdowns. He really caught the secondary sleeping when he pulled down a catch that went for 70 yards.
Northeastern's defeat was their third straight at home, which dropped their record down to 5-4. Newman will try to repeat (or improve) on that dominant performance when he faces off against West Jefferson on Friday.
