At Ryan Field, the Northwestern Wildcats demonstrated their defensive capabilities by limiting the Cornhuskers to just 13 points. The Wildcats' defense was relentless throughout the game, recording one sack for a loss of 12 yards and eight tackles for loss. They also forced two turnovers through interceptions and defended their end zone without allowing any safeties or blocked kicks.

On offense, Northwestern's passing game was efficient with two touchdowns contributing to their total score.

Highlighting this performance was an impressive longest rush touchdown covering over forty yards.

Special teams played their part too; although there were no blocked punts or punt returns for touchdowns by either team, Northwestern's punters ensured field position advantage by landing four punts inside the twenty-yard line out of six attempts.

Penalties could have been problematic as eight flags were thrown against them resulting in sixty-four penalty yards; however it did not deter them from maintaining control over possession time which exceeded twenty-seven minutes.
