The Rams offence dominated collecting 583 yards of total offence including 364 of it through the air.  Quarterbacks Stephen Legare and Colby Peters combined for 13 completions and three touchdowns to three different receivers; Khalik Johnson, Ryan MacDonald and Nick Agnoletto.  The running attack was outstanding gaining 252 yards, Joe Carter leading the charge with 125 yards on 11 carries.

The defence was punishing allowing just 18 yards on the ground.

Due to the lack of run game, the Huskers were forced to throw.  Quarterback Noah Falconer completed 23 of 47 for 248 yards and threw a pair of touchdown passes to Mike West and his brother Elijah Falconer.

The Huskers defence forced five turnovers; Travis Dietrich, Landon Rayburn and Brett Boyce each recovered a fumble.  Boyce and Mason Paleck each tallied a sack.
