Skyler Perry was 16-of-27 passing for 222 yards and one touchdown for UAPB. Macon was 3-for-5 passing for 45 yards and the touchdown to Prince.

Huntley completed 15 of 21 passes for 328 yards and three touchdowns for Lane. He was sacked four times. Both Bunton and Jacquez Jones went over 100 yards receiving.

The game featured more than 1,000 yards total offense with UAPB outgaining Lane 521-511.
