Edit
- Tulsa quarterback Paul Smith set an NCAA Division I record with his 14th consecutive 300-yard passing game.[3]
- The 63-7 final score makes this game the largest margin of victory in bowl history surpassing the 55-point margin set by Alabama over Syracuse in the 1953 Orange Bowl.[3]
- The game represented just the second matchup of the two teams in football. In 1989, Tulsa also beat Bowling Green in blowout fashion, 45-10.
