Jase Sohm also had a safety for the Dawgs defense.
“Overall we forced turnovers and had a complete game offensively rushing and through the air all night. It was a great night to be a Bulldog and has been a very successful season after a couple of seasons that we were down,” Tallent said. “I am extremely proud of this group and their hard work and determination this season.”
