At DKR-Texas Memorial Stadium, the Cyclones showcased a dynamic offense but ultimately fell short against the Longhorns. The visiting team managed to accumulate a total of 403 yards throughout the game. The Cyclones' passing game was particularly effective, with their quarterback throwing for 329 yards and achieving a completion percentage of nearly 70 percent. This included an impressive longest pass play that went for 54 yards and resulted in one of their two passing touchdowns.

The rushing attack added another dimension to their offense but was less productive than their aerial assault, totaling just 74 yards on the ground. However, they did manage to find the end zone once via this method with an eleven-yard touchdown run.

Special teams had its moments too; despite one blocked punt out of three attempts, they maintained discipline by not allowing any return yards on punts or kickoffs. Furthermore, all three extra point kicks were successful after touchdowns.
