And if Pat didn't get it, Chapuseaux (K) would have likely with his 13 points scored, and winning kick in OT.

Pat was all over the field.
Easy to spot with that big pink arm sleeve.

He had a heck of a game.

We had two guys that could have gotten these honors, but those guys deserved it for sure. Congrats South!
