- Rudock continued to struggle on finding a rhythm in the passing game. He seemed to be out of sync finding receivers whether in open or in coverage. Rudock missed a wide open Jake Butt in the endzone and a wide open Drake Johnson in the flats later in the game.
- Wilton Speight took over for Rudock rather than Morris, all but ensuring he will given a redshirt this season. Speight went 0/3 but tried to stretch the field with a downfield passing game. Two of Speights passes should have been caught for touchdowns. One was just off the fingertips of Grant Perry, and the other was a missed defensive pass interference.
