FIRST QUARTER
The Rutgers offense started by marching 74 yards down the field in just four plays to score the opening touchdown, with Kaliakmanis finding Duff on a 20-yard strike to make it 7-0.

After a missed field goal from Washington, the Scarlet Knights put together a 12-play drive that resulted in a 35-yard field goal from PK Jai Patel to push the advantage to 10-0.
 
SECOND QUARTER
The Huskies got on the board with a quick drive early in the second quarter, scoring a touchdown on a 23-yard pass to cap off a three-play, 50-yard drive and make it 10-7. 

The teams would trade field goals late, with Patel drilling a 37-yard field goal with 39 seconds left before UW kicked a 36-yarder as time expired to bring the score to 13-10 in favor of Rutgers at halftime.
 
THIRD QUARTER
The Huskies took their first lead of the game on a four-play, 75-yard drive to start the third quarter, capping it off with a one-yard touchdown run to jump ahead 17-13. Another quick scoring drive for UW made it 24-13 on a 38-yard touchdown pass. 

Raymond helped cut into the deficit with a 48-yard touchdown reception from Kaliakmanis, his first career receiving touchdown that brought RU within five at 24-19. 

The back-and-forth quarter continued as Washington added to its lead on a 12-yard rush, pushing its advantage to 31-19. 
 
FOURTH QUARTER
A rushing touchdown for UW extended its lead with 6:52 remaining. The Scarlet Knights were unable to find the end zone the remainder of the game, falling to the Huskies by a final of 38-19.
