After forcing an Oklahoma State punt, the Knights drove into field goal range. The possession was kept alive by a 50-yard completion from Jackson to Wade, setting up Ruelas’ go-ahead kick.

Jackson finished the game 16 of 25 for 271 yards and two touchdowns. Wade was his primary target, hauling in four receptions for 145 yards and both scores.
