What should a player do with his first career interception?
For Ahman Ross, it’s to run and give the ball to his mother. That’s what he did for Florida Atlantic early in the fourth quarter of a 48-9 victory at Charlotte. And she was really excited to get the ball, too.
The team captain had a big night overall against Charlotte, with a season-high 7 tackles on Thursday night, and that gave him 18 tackles on the season.
Overall, it was a satisfying victory for the Owls.
“We exorcised some demons tonight,” coach Willie Taggart said. “It’s great because you look at our program and what we’re doing, you think about the negative things, one negative thing you hear a lot is winning on the road. I told our guys all week, there’s no extra pressure on us to go win on the road, we just have to go do it. We know what it takes, we just have to go do it. We hadn’t done it all year, perfect time to do it, Thursday night on TV against the team that’s leading our side of the conference. It was great for our guys to actually go out and do it, and do it the way that they did.”
First career interception?
That one’s for mom.
