Texas scored TD, SOD at Tul2, TD, punt, punt, TD. 21-0 HT. Texas was the one with the problems to open the 2nd H netting just 36y on their first 4 poss.

OSU got up 14-0 before SB went 9p 75y aided by roughing the passer to make it 14-7. OSU had a 1st down at the S17, but had to settle for a FG then later converted 4th and 7 on their way to a TD…24-7….OSU P mishandled the punt snap and SB was set up on the O31, 2 plays later it was 24-13.

Purdue kicked a 29y FG. 3-0. EM QB Wiegers threw a pass where the Purdue DB mistimed his jump allowing WR Sexton to race 75y for a 7-3 lead. PU had a 1st down at the 18, but settled for a 34y FG. 7-6 and of 1st qrt. PU would’ve had 1st-and-goal but were called for a penalty and instead had 3rd-and-15 where Rondale Moore fumbled a the E11. After a punt PU came back 9p 87y for the lead 12-7 (xpt no good). With just :59 in the half Wiegers led a 2m drive to the P5, but with :05 left had to kick a 27y FG. 12-10 HT. 3rd qrt was filled with punts, PU then EM were both SOD near midfield. EM used a 4p 44y drive to take a 17-12 lead. PU quickly responded on a 45y Knox TD run..19-17. An unsportsman like conduct penalty on Knox prevented PU from trying a 2pt conv and instead were up by just 2 rather than potentially 3. It would prove costly. EM had a pass tipped and PU INT’d at the E20, but PU had to settle for a 38y FG and missed. Another key moment. EM took over with under 5min left and PU sacked Wiegers on 3rd-and-8, but Cornel Jones pushed the QB into the ground when getting up drawing the flag and kept the drive alive. Still PU forced a 4th-and-15...EM connected for 23y, then PU was called for PI setting up EM at the P20. EM painfully missed some game changing FGs in 2017, that K is still on the team, but they trotted out a Tr Fr who nailed the 24y FG as time expired. 20-19 F. FD even at 19, TY 476-416 (7.2-6.4) and 341-69 (8.1-2.2 ypc) for PU. Both teams struggled on 3rd down. PU fumbled 5x, lost 2, were -1 TO margin for game. PU D got 6 sacks (EM 1).

UB converted 4th down at the T41 and got a 22y TD run…12-0 (2pt conv att INT’d and returned by TU for 2 pts but illegal block negated it). TU missed a FG ,but UB was INT’d on 4th down from the T19 in the EZ. With just 1:45 left in the half, TU got the the B39 and Nutile threw a hail mary that was caught for a TD with :00 left to make it 12-7 HT. TU opened 6p 74y and took the lead 14-12. UB went 3-and-out, but UT threw INT at the T26, leading to a Bulls TD and xpt…19-14. TU went 3-and-out 3 straight. UB would make a 46y FG…22-14. TU would then blk a punt for a TD w/ 2pt good…22-22. Unsportsmanlike conduct helped UB field position starting at the B42. UB went 8p 58y for 29-22 lead 7-1/2min left. Armstead ripped a 50y run setting up a TU TD…29-29. On the next drive, UB threw incomplete on a 3rd-and-10, but personal foul kept the drive alive, UB then converted on 3rd-and-8 and 3rd-and 10 for a TD..36-29. Nutile was sacked/fumbled to end the game with :15 left at midfield. Buffalo had 29-16 FD, 427-355 TY (5.0-5.3 ypp), 152-115 RY (3.7-4.0 ypc), 53-21% 3rd down conv. UB +2 TOs. Jackson 26-45-275-3-1.

So you're telling me utah state scored 60 points

It does appear that way. Three 51y FGs...a pick-six, a KO ret TD, 51y TD run 68y TD runs..that is 37 pts right there. Then I guess you can say they scored 23 pts in the conventional type of way like driving the ball and kicking average length FGs.
