In the fourth quarter, sophomore cornerback Thomas Graham Jr. intercepted Luton and ran it back 38 yards for a touchdown. He also had the other pick of Luton.

Dye (39 yards) and Verdell (1 yard) scored in the fourth quarter, and Luton and Hernandez connected for a 31-yard touchdown in the final seconds.
