Quarterback Jayden Daniels was the standout performer for Tennessee, throwing for an impressive 356 yards and three touchdowns, connecting frequently with Tim Brown, who shined with 190 receiving yards and added 76 rushing yards to his impressive stat line. The Titans' offense demonstrated balance and efficiency, making critical plays when it mattered most to build a comfortable lead.
Defensively, the Titans were equally formidable, led by Cornelius Bennett with six total tackles, while T.J. Parker made a significant impact with two sacks.
