At Yulman Stadium, home of the Tulane Green Wave, fans witnessed an engaging contest where the Tulsa Golden Hurricane emerged victorious. The game began with an assertive start by Tulsa, putting up 10 points in the first quarter while keeping Tulane scoreless. By halftime, both teams had added three more points to their tallies.

Despite throwing three interceptions, he managed to maintain a passer rating of around 107. The longest pass completion was an impressive 59 yards which set up crucial scoring opportunities for Tulsa.

Defensively, Tulsa applied pressure throughout the game recording two sacks and seven tackles for loss which amounted to negative fifteen yards against Tulane’s offense. They held firm during critical moments and did not allow any interceptions or fumble recoveries by Tulane’s defense.


In terms of discipline on both sides, penalties were minimal with only three assessed against Tulsa totaling thirty-five penalty yards and none reaching excessive numbers that would significantly alter game dynamics.


As time expired in regulation play neither team could secure additional points leading into overtime where once again it was Tulsa who capitalized scoring seven points while holding off any response from Tulane sealing their victory at twenty points to thirteen.
