- The Associated Press described his 94.6% completion rate as the highest in a single FCS game.
- After converting a fourth-and-8 with a 14-yard pass to Josiah Thomas at 48 seconds, freshman Marcus Trout made the winning 34-yard field goal with 23 seconds left following a delay-of-game penalty.

- Western Carolina improved to 3-3 overall and 2-0 in the SoCon, while Wofford dropped to 0-5 and 0-2 after briefly taking the lead on an 83-yard Jayden Whitaker-to-Ivory Aikens touchdown.
