The SMU Mustangs, with a record of 7-6, faced off against the Tulsa Golden Hurricane, standing at 5-7. The game ended with the Mustangs outscoring the Golden Hurricane 45-34.

At Skelly Field at H.A. Chapman Stadium, the Southern Methodist University (SMU) Mustangs delivered an impressive performance against the Tulsa Golden Hurricane. The Mustangs' offense was on full display as they amassed a total of 468 yards throughout the game. The passing attack was particularly effective, with SMU's quarterback throwing for 310 yards and two touchdowns while completing nearly 68 percent of his passes. One pass stood out as it connected for a remarkable 75-yard touchdown.

The ground game also contributed significantly to SMU's victory, churning out 158 rushing yards and three touchdowns. Despite losing one fumble during the game, which resulted in a touchdown for Tulsa, SMU maintained control with their consistent offensive push.

Defensively, SMU showcased their ability to disrupt plays behind the line of scrimmage by accumulating five sacks and six tackles for loss which accounted for a loss of combined yardage totaling nearly half a football field (78 yards). Their pressure on Tulsa's quarterback was relentless as evidenced by five hits on him.

Special teams played their part too; although none of SMU's three punts were blocked or returned for touchdowns, they managed to keep field position in favor through an average punt distance that matched an Olympic swimming pool length (43 yards). Additionally, kickoffs were strategically executed resulting in six touchbacks from seven attempts.

Penalties could have been problematic as nine flags were thrown against them costing them over four scoreyards (83), but this did not deter them from securing their win. In terms of efficiency within scoring range – red zone and goal-to-go situations – they were flawless with success rates both standing at perfect hundred percent conversions.
