His longest pass of the night was a 62-yard touchdown strike to receiver Sébastien Blanchard midway through the first quarter to put Sherbrooke up 10-0. He hooked up once again with Blanchard 3:50 into the second quarter on a 21-yard touchdown toss that gave Sherbrooke a lead that they would never surrender.

Jean-Samuel Blanc dominated on the defensive line in the Carabins’ 48-10 win over the Concordia Stingers on Friday night, recording 5.5 tackles including four quarterback sacks and a fumble recovery. The second year arts and science student recorded sacks on three consecutive plays, spanning a pair of Concordia possessions, in the second quarter. He capped the evening off with a key fourth quarter sack of Reid Quest stopping a Stingers drive at the Montreal 26 yard line, as Concordia would miss a 33-yard field goal attempt on the next play. The four sacks rank third all-time in RSEQ single game annals behind former Carabin Jonathan Pierre-Étienne who had 4.5 sacks against Laval in 2011 and Jason Manzano of McGill who dropped the Bishop’s field general 5 times in a game back in 2003.
