The first year general studies student recorded his second sack of the campaign late in the fourth quarter, dropping Carabin quarterback Alexandre Nadeau-Piuze for a three-yard loss on second-and-five at the Laval 17 yard line. The stop snuffed out a potential game-tying drive and forced Montreal to attempt a 24-yard field goal that resulted in a single.
