Caleb Williams led the charge for Minnesota, throwing for an impressive 391 yards and four touchdowns, making him the standout performer in the passing game. Quinshon Judkins added a potent rushing attack with 169 yards on the ground, while Jeremiah Smith was a reliable target, racking up 116 receiving yards.
