In an intense face-off at Simmons Bank Liberty Stadium, the Tulsa Golden Hurricane struggled to find their rhythm against a determined Memphis Tigers defense. Despite their efforts, Tulsa's offense managed only one touchdown and one field goal throughout the game. The passing game saw quarterback completion rates hovering around 46 percent for a total of 176 yards and one touchdown pass that covered 13 yards. However, it was not enough to overcome the home team's defense.

The rushing attack for Tulsa was stifled by Memphis' defensive line, limiting them to just 31 yards on ground and an average gain per play sitting at merely three and half yards. The offensive line allowed three sacks totaling a loss of twenty-two yards which further hampered their ability to maintain drives.

On special teams, Tulsa's punting unit worked hard under pressure but did not manage any punts inside the twenty-yard line despite eight attempts; however they did achieve an impressive longest punt of sixty-one yards. In terms of discipline on both sides of the ball, penalties were kept relatively low with only five infractions costing them forty-five penalty yards.

Defensively speaking, Tulsa showed some resilience by forcing three fumbles and recovering two while also recording three sacks on opposing quarterbacks for losses totaling twenty-four yards. Yet these efforts were overshadowed as they could not prevent Memphis from putting up twenty-six points against them.

As for red zone efficiency, when given opportunities within striking distance of scoring touchdowns or field goals in critical areas close to their opponent’s end zone – known as "red zone" – they converted two out of three chances into scores which is approximately sixty-seven percent success rate; however this was still insufficient in changing the tide in their favor during this contest.

Looking ahead after this tough loss on road turf against conference rivals from Tennessee state capital city area - next up for Tulsa will be another challenging encounter as they host South Florida Bulls at Skelly Field at H.A.
