Ten of those completions were to Thomeczek for 135 yards. The winning catch—his 11th—doesn’t count on stats but the play is now one of the greatest in Cougar history. Carson Carlock had 9 tackles, 6 of them solos and 3 for losses. Elijah Sells also had 9 tackles and sophomore Michael Montgomery made a crucial interception.
