His four touchdowns hit three different targets in Sean Dykes, Damonte Coxie and Calvin Austin III. It was the fifth time in his career he threw for at least four touchdowns.
The Santa Clarita, Calif., native finished with a Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium career-high 27 completions at a clip of 72.9 percent. On the ground, his 18-yard rush in the third was another career-high.
