The Blue Devils took a 7-0 lead early, maintaining it through the first half of the game. In the third, St. John's rallied. Jackson Erdman found junior running back Kenneth Udoibok late in the third to tie the game 7-7.

Roughly two minutes later, Erdman threw his second touchdown pass of the day: a 46-yard bomb to sophomore running back Henry Trost.

In the fourth quarter, the Johnnies attempted to extend their lead with a field goal, but it was blocked by UW-Stout.
