The team numbers show how the game separated. Iowa State Cyclones produced 507 total yards and 25 first downs; Bowling Green Falcons finished with 186 yards and 10 first downs. Third-down efficiency was Iowa State Cyclones 4-10 against Bowling Green Falcons 2-12, while the turnover count was Iowa State Cyclones 1 and Bowling Green Falcons 2. Those figures frame the result beyond the final score.

Sharp for 59 yds, for a TD (T. Kenner KICK); T. McKee kickoff for 65 yds, C. Pettaway returns for 100 yds for a TD (K. Konrardy KICK); A. Flora run for 61 yds, for a TD (K. Konrardy KICK); Ar. Barnes III run for 3 yds, for a TD (K. Konrardy KICK) and then turned toward the team that handled possession and field position more consistently.
ESPN's dated event video, "Jaylen Raynor tosses 34-yard touchdown", captures a representative turning point from the same game and was published after the final. It is included as a native source beside the reporting rather than treated as a substitute for the full play-by-play.
