Utah's game against Oregon State was the first December home game the Utes have hosted since 1962 when Utah welcomed UCLA to town on Dec. 1.
- It is the latest regular season home game the Utes have played in since 1896 when Utah beat City High on Dec. 25. The Utes had a game scheduled for Dec. 12, 1898 against All Hallows, but All Hallows forfeited the game.
- It was the first time doing so since Sept. 14, 2019 against Idaho State (FG, TD, TD, TD).
- Jordan scored his first-career touchdown as a Ute with 3:10 left in the second quarter, punching in a one-yard rushing touchdown.
- Jordan's 167 rushing yards against Oregon State are the most rushing yards in a game by a Ute since Zack Moss put up 203 against Arizona in 2019 (11/23; 26 carries, 1 TD).
- The last time a Utah true freshman rushed for 100 yards in a game was in 1995 when Chris Fuamatu-Ma'afala rushed for 108 yards against BYU (24 carries, 4.5 ypc, 2 TDs).
- Jordan's 167 yards against Oregon State are the most a Utah true freshman has rushed for in a game since Fuamatu-Ma'afala had 180 against Utah State in 1995.
- Jordan finished the game with 189 all-purpose yards (167 rush, 22 receive), his second-straight 100-yard all-purpose game for the Utes.

- Covey has six career receiving touchdowns (4 in 2015, 1 in 2018).
- Covey's 64-yard punt return for a touchdown to start the fourth quarter was the first punt return for a TD for the Utes since Demari Simpkins returned one to the house for 66 yards against Colorado in 2019 (11/30).
