Tallman was exceptionally accurate against the Prairie Fire's biggest rival.

The junior kicker made all five of his extra point attempts and four of his kickoffs resulted in touchbacks in the season finale on November 10 at Monmouth College, the 124th Bronze Turkey Game. 

The game against the Fighting Scots marked the third time this season that Tallman was 5-for-5 kicking extra points, which ties for the seventh-most in a game of all-time.  Twice this season he made 7-of-8 extra point attempts, which is tied for #2 all-time. 

The school record for extra point kicks made in a game is nine (9-of-11) by Lane Bridgford in 1919 against Lake Forest College.

Tallman set two new school kicking records during the 2012 season.  His 36 extra points made and 41 attempted in a season established new all-time marks.  The previous records were 30 extra points made and 34 attempted by Adam Jordan in 2002.
