First downs were a particularly striking category: 39 for UChicago and two for Beloit. The Maroons converted 87 percent of their third downs.

Defensively, the Maroons mauled the Bucs for 10 tackles for loss and four sacks. They also forced a pair of fumbles, and senior defensive lineman Chris Murphy picked off a pass and returned it for a 25-yard touchdown. The Bucs went 0-for-11 on third-down conversions.

Senior quarterback Philip Martini threw for four touchdowns on the day, with three of them to senior wide receiver Matt Quaglia. Senior wideout Elliott Grays hauled in the other touchdown catch. The running game featured touchdowns by senior Nicholas D'Ambrose, first-year Kyle James, first-year Marcelo Alanis and first-year Frankie Lonergan.
