"We knew they were going to bring a lot of pressure and blitz seven or eight guys consistently so we tried to exploit that and get our receivers in space where they could make plays," said Thomas, a junior transfer from Loyola who finished with 368 passing yards. "We're a couple plays away from being undefeated. We've lost two games by a total of four points so we're better than our record shows."
Thomas ended Palisades' first drive with a 26-yard touchdown pass to LeHenry Solomon and shook off an interception in the end zone on the Dolphins' second drive to engineer a 77-yard march capped by his nine-yard toss to Harrison Carter to make it 14-0 midway through the second quarter.
Carter ran 83 yards for a touchdown on the Dolphins' first play of the second half to make it 28-7, forcing the host Huskies (11-1) to abandon their vaunted running attack.
