Tennessee quarterback DJ Lagway was the star of the show, throwing for an astonishing 550 yards and seven touchdowns, leading his team to victory. He connected frequently with wide receiver Trey Palmer, who racked up an impressive 173 receiving yards.

Buffalo's defense had its moments, with Maxwell Hairston leading the team with six tackles and Greg Rousseau contributing 1.5 sacks, but it was the Titans’ relentless offense that ultimately proved too much to handle.
