Despite his resume listing him as "un-encouraged" on Special Teams, DT Jorge Cerqua made the play of the night for the Tuscon Toros.

But before we get to that incredible play, let's back track for a moment, and make sure the rest of the Toros gets their proper credit.

The game was 21 all late in the 4th. The Denver Dynamite were pounding on the Tucson doorstep, with 1st and 4 at the Toros 4 yard line. Let's take a look at what happened next;
Spoiler: show
1-4-TUC04 (4Q: 02:30) Vincent Mathis ran inside the left guard for -1 yards. Tackled by S Karl Bernard, assisted by DT Jonathan Marsh.
2-5-TUC05 (4Q: 02:07) Norm Kocialski ran around left end for -1 yards and was forced out of bounds. Tackled by DT Craig Green, assisted by ILB Perry Hopper.
Official time out for the two-minute warning.
3-6-TUC06 (4Q: 02:00) Byron Mogolov ran inside the right tackle for -2 yards. Tackled by S Phillip Cockburn.
3 rushes by the Dynamite, 3 stops for losses. Job well done by the Tuscon defense as Denver settled for a 25 yard FG.

With 1:27 left in the game, Dixon Judy took over at his own 24 yard line.
Spoiler: show
1-10-TUC24 (4Q: 01:27) Dixon Judy pass completed to TE Lamar Mathews for 13 yards. Tackled by CB Fred Lindsay.
1-10-TUC37 (4Q: 01:04) Dixon Judy scrambled for 7 yards. Tackled by CB Irv Dubois and assisted by ILB Bennie Atkins.
Tucson called a time out.
2-3-TUC44 (4Q: 00:56) Dixon Judy pass was blocked at the line, intended for WR Micah Purkayastha. DE Leroy Harmon blocked the pass.
3-3-TUC44 (4Q: 00:46) Dixon Judy pass completed to WR Damon Barker for 9 yards. Tackled by ILB Bennie Atkins. The receiver ran his route right over the middle of the field.
Tucson called a time out.
1-10-DEN47 (4Q: 00:37) Dixon Judy pass completed to WR Micah Purkayastha for 21 yards. Tackled by S T.J. Sherman. Purkayastha gained 3 yards after the catch.
Tucson called a time out.
1-10-DEN26 (4Q: 00:26) PENALTY: Tucson was called for a False Start.
1-15-DEN31 (4Q: 00:26) Dixon Judy pass completed to WR Brent Fierro for 19 yards. Tackled by CB Fred Lindsay. Fierro gained 5 yards after the catch.
1-10-DEN12 (4Q: 00:05) Zach Shipway attempted a 29 yard field goal and succeeded. Tucson 24, Denver 24
The game would go to Overtime!

Denver would get first crack, and would move the ball all the way down to the Tuscon 39 yard line when on 3rd and 1;
Spoiler: show
3-1-TUC39 (OT: 12:00) Vincent Mathis ran around the left tackle for -3 yards. Tackled by DT Jonathan Marsh, assisted by OLB Bubba Wagner.
The Tuscon defense came up big again! So Dixon Judy would lead the troops down the field, kick a FG and the game was over right? Wrong!

Judy and the offense fell flat, going 3 and out and putting the ball back in the Dynamite offense hands. The Dynamite would try to run the ball but a 3 yard loss and a 4 yard gain would bring up 3rd and 9. QB Timothy Kiser would throw in to double coverage, forcing the Dyamite to punt from their own 38.

Bring back in DT Jorge Cerqua, who would BLOCK the punt attempt, and CB Anthony Martel would scoop the ball up at the 15 yard line and take it to the house, as the Tuscon home crowd went nuts as their Toros improved to 4-1 with the victory.

The Toros now head in to a bye week and will attempt to figure out how to stop giving their fans heart attacks every week and win games in regulation.
