Junior PK Jason Robbins tied his career-high with a 37-yard field goal in the second quarter. Robbins also connected on a pair of 37-yard field goals as both a redshirt freshman and sophomore years, respectively.

Senior WR Kenny Higgins caught his first career touchdown pass, hauling in a 26-yard TD reception in the waning seconds of the second quarter.
