In their previous outing, Tulsa decimated Northwestern State with a staggering 62-28 victory. The offense was nothing short of spectacular, amassing a total of 622 yards. Quarterback Kirk Francis led the aerial assault with an impressive 299 passing yards and four touchdowns, completing 77 percent of his attempts. The ground game was equally formidable; the team rushed for 323 yards, demonstrating versatility and depth in their offensive playbook.


Defensively, Tulsa was relentless. They recorded one sack and forced a fumble while limiting Northwestern State's scoring opportunities. Special teams also made significant contributions; Lloyd Avant's electrifying 100-yard kickoff return for a touchdown highlighted the team's all-around performance.


The upcoming clash at Centennial Bank Stadium in Jonesboro presents its own set of challenges and opportunities. Playing away from home always tests a team's resilience and adaptability. However, given Tulsa's recent display of dominance on both sides of the ball, they enter this contest with confidence.


Arkansas State will aim to leverage home advantage and disrupt Tulsa's rhythm early on. For Tulsa to secure another victory, maintaining offensive efficiency while tightening up any defensive vulnerabilities will be key.
