Skelly Field at H.A. Chapman Stadium Hosts Tulsa Golden Hurricane and Navy Midshipmen Football Showdown

The Tulsa Golden Hurricane's record now stands at 3-5 after a narrow defeat to the Navy Midshipmen, who improved their season to 2-6. The final score was a close 20-17 in favor of the visitors.

In an intense game at Skelly Field at H.A. Chapman Stadium, the Tulsa Golden Hurricane displayed a commendable effort but ultimately fell short against the Navy Midshipmen. The home team's offense accumulated a total of 294 yards, with 165 yards coming from passing and 129 from rushing efforts. Despite two fumbles during the game, one of which was lost, Tulsa managed to maintain possession for nearly half of the game time.

The Golden Hurricane's passing attack saw them complete 13 out of 23 attempts with an average gain of over six yards per pass and one touchdown that covered two yards. Their rushing plays averaged four yards per attempt with their longest run being an impressive breakaway for 78 yards; however, they were unable to convert this into points on the board.

Special teams contributed significantly as well with a kickoff return touchdown that spanned an electrifying 97 yards – a highlight moment for Tulsa fans in attendance among the crowd of over sixteen thousand. The field goal unit also delivered perfection by converting their sole attempt from within twenty-nine yards.

Penalties played a role in shaping the course of events as well; eight penalties resulted in seventy penalty-yards against Tulsa but did not cross thresholds that would typically underscore discipline issues within a team.

Defensively, while no sacks were recorded by either side and interceptions remained elusive for both teams' defenses throughout four quarters, there were notable defensive stops including two tackles for loss totaling four negative yardage against Navy's offense.

As we look ahead beyond this hard-fought contest, fans can mark their calendars for when the Tulsa Golden Hurricane will face off against Cincinnati Bearcats at Nippert Stadium on November sixth at seven-thirty PM Eastern Time. This upcoming game will be broadcasted on ESPN2 where supporters can tune in to watch their team compete once again on college football’s stage.
