Occidental: Tim Tanous, Football
Tim Tanous nabbed a game-changing fourth quarter interception in the Tigers' important 24-10 victory over Redlands Saturday at Ted Runner Field. After Occidental took a 17-10 lead early in the fourth quarter, Redlands answered with a 30-yard kickoff return and a quick first down by quarterback Chris Saras into Oxy territory. Tanous picked off a Saras pass on the next play at the Oxy 43, killing the Redlands drive with 13:10 remaining. Tanous led the Tigers with ten tackles, eight solo, in addition to the interception. Occidental stretched its regular season winning streak to 21! games, a new school record.
