The Aggies' passing offense, led by Demond Williams Jr., received a low score of 5.5/10. Quarterbacks scored a 5, pass protection a 6, and receivers a 5.5.

The rushing offense scored a 3.5/10, with the Huskies managing 107 yards on 33 carries, averaging 3.5 yards per carry. Demond Williams led the rushing attack with 56 yards on 11 carries, but most of the contribution came from scrambles.

The pass defense received a high score of 8.75/10, with 3 sacks (including 2 from safety Alex McLaughlin) and 3 interceptions. The run defense was also strong, holding Utah State to 75 yards on 29 carries. Special teams scored a 6.5/10, with Tyler Robles responsible for 10 of UW's 16 points. The coaching performance was rated a 4.5/10, with the Huskies cutting penalties in half and Coach Fisch struggling to adapt his system to the players.
