Boykin completed 34 of his 54 passes for 485 yards. He already has 475 rushing yards this season (118.8 per game), almost halfway to another 1,000-yard season after a year ago being the first Red Raiders running back with one since Ricky Williams (not the Heisman Trophy victor from Texas) in 1998.

Brandon Harris hit Malachi Dupre with an 11-yard scoring pass with 9:14 left to seal it.
