The biggest swing of the day belonged to KTCS defender Giovani Pelaez, who intercepted a pass from Kayson Link and took it back for a pick-six. That one play gave KTCS seven points and went into the books as both an interception and a touchdown, making Pelaez the most dangerous player on the field for his side.

Kayson Link had a day full of tough breaks through the air. Xavier Davenport picked off Link twice for KTCS, and Pelaez added the third interception with his pick-six. Link's throws kept finding KTCS defenders, but the 12:35s quarterback also showed his arm by throwing two touchdown passes to Carson Tabaka.

Carson Tabaka was the top target for the 12:35s, scoring on two separate touchdown passes from Link. Those two scores were the only offense the 12:35s put on the board, and they accounted for all 14 of their points.

KTCS's offense got its points from Charlie Waddell's arm and Finn Hopkins's legs. Hopkins caught a touchdown pass from Waddell, and the KTCS offense found the end zone through that connection. Waddell also had his throw picked off by Link for the 12:35s, a reminder that the passing game was a risky business all afternoon.

The KTCS defense was the story of the day with Davenport and Pelaez combining for three interceptions. Davenport's two picks of Link and Pelaez's pick-six made KTCS a constant threat to take the ball away, and the secondary turned Link's passes into real problems for the 12:35s.

The 12:35s defense had its own moments, led by Link's interception of Waddell, which shut down a KTCS drive through the air. The defense also helped set the stage for Tabaka's two scores, giving the 12:35s a chance to answer the turnovers they forced and let the passing game do the work.

No other plays were recorded for either team in the commissioner's log, so the story of this game is about the passing game, the picks and the touchdowns. Every score came from a pass, with Tabaka and Hopkins on the receiving end, and every big defensive play came in the form of an interception.

The result was a 14-14 tie, which leaves both teams with a point of pride and a lot to build on for the next game. With the score level and the turnovers piling up, the rematch between these two teams will be one to watch.
