Quarterback Beau Brungard broke two school records. The Vindicator reports YSU scored touchdowns on all nine of its offensive possessions and finished with 589 total yards.
- Brungard: 31-of-34 passing and four touchdowns
- Lynn Wyche-El: 10 catches, 145 yards, one touchdown

The defense wasn't as sharp. Murray State finished with season-highs of 536 yards and 35 points. "It wasn't a good showing," coach Doug Phillips said. After the regular-season finale, the Penguins wait a week to find out their FCS playoff fate.
