Solomon Thomas, defense lead Stanford to Sun Bowl victory over North Carolina
Posted Dec 30, 2016
Stanford's defense was exhausted after carrying its team's weight for the entirety of Friday's Sun Bowl, and UNC ripped off a furious 10-play, 97-yard touchdown drive in the final seconds to set up a dramatic ending. But Solomon Thomas dug deep to make the decisive play. Stanford won 25-23, logging a third straight bowl victory for the first time in program history.
