First Quarter


The opening quarter set an energetic tone as both teams exchanged early scores. The Trojans took an initial lead with a field goal and followed up with a touchdown pass from Jayden Maiava to Ja'Kobi Lane, who showcased his receiving prowess by covering 59 yards for the score. However, ND responded swiftly, closing out the quarter trailing by just three points.

Third Quarter


The third quarter witnessed heightened action as both teams traded blows on offense and defense. Maiava continued his aerial assault with another touchdown pass while also successfully executing a two-point conversion play involving Lane again. However, ND managed to edge ahead slightly by scoring twice during this period.


Fourth Quarter
