Senior quarterback Cruz Montana threw for a career-high 352 yards and is now tied for 24th in program history for passing yards in a single game. Cruz bested his previous career high by 25 yards (327 yards vs. Puget Sound, October 23, 2021). He threw for at least 58 yards in all four quarters and accounted for all five Pioneer touchdowns, four passing, and one rushing, which tied his career-best from October 15, 2022, versus Willamette.
