Jacoby Newman Turns in Season-Best Performance
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 torched the secondary when he pulled down a catch that went for 70 yards.
Northeastern's loss was their third straight at home, which dropped their record down to 5-4. Newman's next game is against West Jefferson on Friday, where he'll look to repeat that solid effort.
