Hardy had a monster game, tallying 10.5 tackles, including nine solo stops to go along with an interception during Saturday’s tight 16-14 defeat.

Hardy came through with a key interception as the Bobcats were moving down the field late in the third quarter on a second-and-goal from the three, Hardy picked off Curtis Thompson after his pass was tipped, allowing Hardy to record the diving catch to preserve a score.

Hardy continues to trail only Devin Mack for the top totals on the team, as Hardy now has 32 total tackles, 26 solo, to go along with three tackles for a loss of five yards, one interception and a quarterback hurry.
