Wide receiver Andrew Marsh also contributed heavily to the passing game by securing seven receptions for 106 yards.

On the defensive side, defensive back Chris Bracy disrupted a crucial late drive with a quarterback pressure and a pass deflection, while edge rusher Dominic Nichols contributed four tackles, a sack, and a tackle for loss.
