Noah Logsdon Turns in Season-Best Performance
On Friday, Brandeis got the W thanks in part to Noah Logsdon playing the best football he has all season. 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.
