The third quarter was a tragic one for Aidan O’Connell. He led the Raiders on a drive that lasted over ten minutes and put them at the Bucs 10-yard line. Then everything fell apart.
O’Connell threw for Brock Bowers and was picked off by cornerback Tykee Smith. After a Raiders defensive stop, O’Connell came back out and on his first play, threw a pop fly off his back foot for another interception.
