Noah Logsdon Delivers Best Effort 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.
Logsdon and Brandeis are taking a road trip to square off against Clark at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. Logsdon will face off against Xavier Canavis, the Cougars' star rusher. Will the game be decided in the trenches? We'll have our answer very soon.
