Season 3, Week 9: 6-2 Panthers visit 2-5 Dragons
The sold out home crowd got a heckuva better game than the pundits were predicting! In fact, they got a heckuva game, period.
With the Dragons trailing, 20-17, in the fourth quarter, undrafted Dragon rookie LB/DE Camden Eiguren stripped the Tampa QB of the ball, and sophomore 7th rounder DE Frankie Rhoades scooped it up and rumbled to the Tampa 13. Two plays later, RB Drake Boyette raced in from 9 yards out to give the Dragons their first lead.
Then, as Tampa tried to rally, SS Mitch Plante snagged the INT, leading to rookie QB Dakota Corriveau's second TD hookup of the day with TE Kelvin Satterfield. Another INT later, and another Corriveau drive for a FG put the Dragons up for good in a rousing, 34-20 victory.
Notably, Corriveau had his first 3 TD game. Could the rookie be turning a corner?
