It’s hard to imagine a defensive player having a bigger impact on a game. If there is a better defensive performance in college football history, please let us know. This has to be right up there with the best games ever.
What’s hard to believe is that Tuimoloau only had 9 total tackles and a sack on the season entering Saturday’s game. Penn State won’t soon forget about him, nor will fans across college football.
