At FAU Stadium, the Tulsa Golden Hurricane showcased their offensive skills by accumulating a total of 376 yards. The rushing attack was particularly effective, contributing 194 yards to this tally. The longest rush was an impressive 46-yard dash that highlighted the team's ground game capabilities. Despite these efforts, turnovers were an issue for Tulsa as they gave up two interceptions during the contest.


The passing game for Tulsa also had its moments with a total of 182 yards through the air and one touchdown pass that went for 20 yards. However, their completion percentage stood at just under half of their attempts at approximately 46 percent. On third down conversions, they managed to keep drives alive nearly half of the time with an efficiency rate around 47 percent.


Defensively, Tulsa applied pressure on Florida Atlantic's quarterback resulting in three sacks and six tackles for loss which pushed back Florida Atlantic by nine and fifteen yards respectively. They also managed to intercept one pass during the game.


Special teams played their part too; all field goal attempts were successful including one from within thirty-nine yards out. Kickoffs saw them reach inside twenty once and achieve one touchback out of four attempts.


The Owls' performance was marked by resilience as they scored fourteen points in the first quarter but were held to only three points in both second and fourth quarters by a determined Tulsa defense.


As fans look ahead, they can mark their calendars for October 19 when Skelly Field at H.A. Chapman Stadium will be lit up once again as Tulsa Golden Hurricane hosts Rice Owls under what promises to be an electric atmosphere broadcasted on ESPN2 satellite channel two hundred nine starting at six PM local time (Tulsa). This upcoming game is set without any predictions or assumptions about its outcome but promises another opportunity for fans to support their team.
