With this win, the Cannons showcased their offensive firepower, leaving the Pilots struggling to keep pace throughout the game. Ladd McConkey was the standout performer for the Cannons, racking up an impressive 163 receiving yards that helped propel the team’s high-scoring offense. Quarterback play was pivotal, as the Cannons efficiently moved the ball downfield, while the Pilots' Ty Simpson managed to put up 162 passing yards but ultimately fell short in the scoring department. Saquon Barkley led the ground game for Dayton with 50 rushing yards but was unable to spark a serious comeback.

The turning point came midway through the second quarter when Adebo’s pick set up a quick score, extending the Cannons’ lead and putting the Pilots in a deep hole they couldn't escape. With pressure mounting and the defense holding strong, the Cannons maintained control for the remainder of the contest.
