Jacob Harris' 66-yard touchdown catch with 10:08 left was the play of the day. The 6-foot-6 tight end barely kept his right foot inbounds, then raced down the right sideline. Germantown grad Cooper Catalano piled up 14 tackles on defense. Next up is Maryland (3-6) in College Park.
“November's the part of the year where you want to play your best football.”
