Hauss Hejny led the Oklahoma State offense, completing 96 passing yards. The Cowboys' ground game was also effective, with Zane Flores recording 8 carries. Will Monney led receivers with 9 receptions.
UT Martin's only score came in the first quarter, but the Skyhawks managed little else offensively. A late-game interception by Jase Bauer sealed the outcome.

Vailahi added a fourth-quarter touchdown run to punctuate the dominant performance.
The game finished well below the 56.5-point over-under, with the total landing at 34 points.
