Richardson's two-yard run late in the third quarter made it 35-0. After Mayers broke the shutout with his field goal midway through the fourth quarter, Richardson ended the scoring with a one-yard touchdown run with 4:49 to go.

Oklahoma State's reigning FBS rushing champion Chuba Hubbard announced before the game that he was opting out for the rest of the season to concentrate on preparing for the NFL draft.
