The scoring was split evenly, and the game ended all square at 7-7. On the 12:35s side, Maddox Marsaglia threw a touchdown pass to Giovani Pelaez, who hauled it in for the score and gave his team a play to remember. On the KTCS side, Charlie Waddell found Kamden Doage for a touchdown, but that score drew plenty of talk on the sideline. The commissioner's coach notes called it a very controversial call and said Doage was not in the end zone, so fans will be debating that one for a while.

The turnover battle was a lively one. Charlie Waddell had a tough day throwing into coverage, as two of his passes were picked off. Bowen Ince came up with an interception on one of those throws, and Pedon deserves a shoutout because he got a hand on the ball and tipped it into Ince's arms. Giovani Pelaez also intercepted a Waddell pass, adding a second takeaway for the 12:35s secondary.

Maddox Marsaglia's passing game had its own moment, though it was not all smooth. He threw a touchdown pass to Pelaez, but he also had a pass picked off by Braxton Iliff-Murphy, who jumped the route and came away with the ball for KTCS. It was a mix of highs and lows for the 12:35s quarterback, who still delivered the scoring throw that counted.

The playmakers did the heavy lifting on both sides. Pelaez was the most active player in the log, catching a touchdown and grabbing an interception, which made him a difference-maker on both ends of the ball. Pedon's tip and Ince's grab showed how well the 12:35s defense worked together, and Iliff-Murphy's pick gave KTCS a takeaway of its own.

The log also lists the rosters in a way that does not fully match, since Pelaez and Iliff-Murphy appear on opposite sides between the play log and the team lists, so their credit is recorded as the commissioner logged it. Even with that wrinkle, the plays themselves tell a clear story of two evenly matched teams trading touchdowns and turnovers.

The tie leaves both teams with a point to talk about, and the controversial touchdown call will likely be the topic of discussion before the next matchup. Pelaez's two-way impact and the 12:35s defense's tipped and intercepted passes are the bright spots to carry forward, while both quarterbacks will look to protect the ball better next time out.
