THOMAS McDONALD, Hampden-Sydney, Senior, Safety

McDonald, a senior from Chesterfield, Va., made two of three big plays that helped lead to and secure Hampden-Sydney’s come-from-behind victory at Bridgewater on Saturday.  Down 17-10 in the third quarter, an Eagles’ snap from center went over the quarterback’s head and bounded amongst players backwards for nearly 30 yards before McDonald pounced on it at the BC 12-yard line.  One play later, H-SC tied the game with a 12-yard touchdown run.  Later in the game on Bridgewater’s final drive, McDonald sacked the quarterback on third down, forcing a long fourth down attempt that failed and returned the ball to the Tigers, who promptly ran out the clock.  For the game, McDonald recorded five tackles including a pair of TFL’s and one sack, recovered a fumble, and recorded one pass defended.
