The Saints finished with a whopping, 550 yards of combined rushing and 634 yards of total offense.

Tailback Devin Lee had the bulk of the Eagle offense with 109 yards in seven carries, including a 53-yard run that briefly tied the game in the first quarter. The final Western touchdown came on a 22-yard pass from D.J. Pourier to Bud Loomis.
