A big part of Reed's victory came down to the chemistry between Nishaan Bajwa and his top target Jayden Purdum. Bajwa threw for 219 yards and two touchdowns on only 19 passes while Purdum picked up 89 receiving yards and two touchdowns. Oscar Casarez was in the mix too, providing Reed with a touchdown.

Despite the loss, Reno still got an impressive performance from Braylon Wilson, who threw for 137 yards and three touchdowns, and also rushed for 125 yards. Those 125 rushing yards gave Wilson a new career-high.
