Palmer, a senior from Penn Laird, Va., led the Eagles defense in
completely shutting down St. Vincent's offense in a 57-0 victory,
BC's first whitewashing of an opponent since starting the 2006
season with back-to-back shutouts. Palmer led all tacklers
with nine stops, including a tackle for a loss. He also
picked off a pass to setup a BC score early in the second half.
It was one of four turnovers forced by the Bridgewater
defense (three fumbles). The Eagles surrendered just 181
total yards of offense and didn't allow Bearcats beyond midfield
until the final drive of the game.
