At the end of the half, the Linfield special teams also scored a touchdown on a blocked punt. Jeff Walton's punt was blocked deep in Logger territory and Colin Forman picked it up to scamper three yards into the end zone.

The Loggers picked up 201 yards passing on the day, which snaps their seven-game streak with at least 300 yards passing. Linfield outgained the Loggers 490-257 in the game.
