- The official attendance was 65,298.
- Sophomore quarterback Blaine Gabbert passed for 468 yards, the second-best single-game mark in program history, just 12 yards behind Jeff Handy's school record 480 against Oklahoma State in 1992. It is the second 400-plus yard game of Gabbert's career, as he totaled 414 yards against Nevada.
- Gabbert also had career highs in pass attempts with 51 and completions with 30. He previously had 25 completions twice and had 44 attempts at Oklahoma State.
- Senior wide receiver Danario Alexander had career highs with 13 receptions and 214 yards. His 214 yards are the fifth-most in a game in program history. He now has five games with at least 100 yards this season after reaching the mark just once prior to this season.
- Senior wide receiver Jared Perry recorded 145 yards on seven catches. It was the second 100 yard game of his career after he recorded 161 yards against Furman this season.
- Alexander and Perry each totaled more than 100 yards receiving (Alexander: 214, Perry: 145). The combined receiving yards of 359 is the most ever for a pair of receivers in the same game, besting the 314 yards totaled by Kenny Holly and Victory Bailey at Oklahoma State on Oct. 17, 1992. The last time Missouri had two players with 100 yard receiving days was against Nebraska in 2008, when Jeremy Maclin recorded 120 yards and Chase Coffman had 104 yards.
- Gabbert and Alexander connected for a 84-yard touchdown in the second quarter, career longs for both players. The play was also the longest play from scrimmage for Missouri this season, the longest offensive scoring play for the Tigers since an 86-yard TD rush by Robert Delpino against Iowa State in 1987 and the longest TD reception since a 98-yard score from Pete Woods to Joe Stewart against Nebraska in 1976.
- Alexander now has 149 receptions and 2,035 yards receiving in his career to move into seventh and sixth place, respectively, in the MU record books. His season marks of 1,038 reception yards and 71 receptions now rank fifth and eighth, respectively, on the single-season list. Alexander also has now caught at least six receptions in six consecutive games to set a Missouri record.
- Perry moved into eighth place on the single-season receiving yards list with 1,835 and ninth in career receptions with 134.
- Sophomore placekicker Grant Ressel hit two 46-yard field goals to tie his career long, a mark he originally set against Bowling Green on Sept. 12. Ressel, who entered the game tied for first in the nation in field goal accuracy with at 93.3 percent, made three field goals to improve to 17-of-18 (.944) on the season.
- Redshirt freshman defensive end Aldon Smith recorded a sack to up his season total to nine, just two away from tying Justin Smith's single-season record of 11, set in 2000.
- Senior linebacker Sean Weatherspoon recorded 11 tackles to move into a tie for fourth-place on Mizzou's career tackles list. He now has 386 career tackles to tie Travis McDonald (1991-94).
- Missouri scored a touchdown on its opening possession for the second consecutive week after failing to accomplish the feat in the team's first six games of the season. Both of the Tigers' first drive scores have come on rushing touchdowns from junior tailback Derrick Washington.
- The Tigers recorded a safety for the second consecutive week to mark the first time in program history the team had safeties in back-to-back games.
