:: OSU's 38-point win over No. 23 Texas Tech was the third-largest margin of victory over a ranked opponent in school history, trailing only the Cowboys' 62-14 win over No. 15 Wyoming in the 1988 Holiday Bowl and a 45-3 win over No. 12 Arizona State in the 1984 season opener.
:: OSU finishes the 2012 season 6-1 at home and has won 12 of its last 13 games on its home turf.

:: Senior Isaiah Anderson set a career high with 174 receiving yards (easily surpassing his previous best of 64 in 2010 vs. Kansas State) and three touchdowns, including 66- and 60-yard scoring grabs in the second quarter that marked the longest catches in his career.
:: Anderson's career day gave OSU its fifth-different 100-yard receiver in a game this season, a first in Cowboy football history.
