WEEK 9 STATS: 2 total tackles (2 solo), 1.0 sack, FF, pass deflection
Boyd produced two of the biggest defensive plays during what can be considered one of the biggest road wins in Saint Francis’ program history. The freshman defensive back logged a second-quarter strip sack and later caused a game-sealing interception in the final moments of a three-point victory over No. 22 Sacred Heart. With Sacred Heart driving and looking to erase a 30-27 deficit, Boyd deflected a pass that was intercepted by Dave Coleman at midfield with 1:09 remaining in the game. Boyd’s third-down sack of RJ Noel, which jarred the ball loose, forced a Sacred Heart punt midway through the second quarter and Saint Francis proceeded to take a 14-10 lead on the ensuing possession.
