Elko emphasized the importance of physical play and controlling the line of scrimmage, noting they achieved this in the second half. Freshman running back KJ Edwards led the way, rushing for 66 yards and two touchdowns. Running backs Rueben Owens II and Carsyn Baker also contributed significantly. Quarterback Marcel Reed had a shaky game but managed to complete 13-of-19 passes for 170 yards, 66 yards, and a touchdown. Defensive lineman Landon Rink expressed trust in the coaching staff's game plan and praised kicker David Olano's performance, particularly a 57-yard field goal that shifted the momentum.
