Offensively, Jalen Milroe shone for the Scorpions, throwing for an impressive 347 yards and rushing for another 101, showcasing his dual-threat capabilities. However, it was Taylen Green’s four touchdown passes that propelled the Storm to victory, while Isaac TeSlaa's 118 receiving yards provided a consistent target for Green throughout the game.
