Tulsa Buries Tulane 60-10 in a Blowout
Tulsa 563 yards, Tulane 204. Tulsa 60 points, Tulane 10. Pick whichever pair you like, they tell the same story. The Golden Hurricane won 60-10 on the road and never let the home team within a touchdown of anything.
It was 7-0 in the first quarter, 10-0 early in the second, and by halftime Tulsa had scored four more times to lead 32-0. Baylor Hayes threw touchdown passes of 3 and 7 yards in that stretch, Javon Ross ran in from 11, and Hayes hit Oran Singleton from three yards again in the final minute of the half, with Damari Alston running in the two-point conversion. Singleton added a 27-yard touchdown early in the third and Alston scored from six yards to make it 46-0 at 4:10 of the third quarter. Tulane finally got on the board with a 38-yard Cooper Helmke field goal at 13:08 of the fourth. Seth Davis answered with a 31-yard run and Sevion Morrison added a three-yard score, and Tulane's only touchdown, Dagan Bruno to Bredell Richardson from four yards, came with one second left.
The stat sheet is just as lopsided. Tulsa threw for 338 yards and ran for 225 on 41 carries, without a turnover. Tulane managed 112 through the air and 92 on the ground, threw two interceptions and was sacked by the Tulsa defense six times. That is not a game plan, that is a long afternoon.
Tulsa moves to 5-4 and Tulane drops to 4-5. The fantasy takeaway is easy, since the Tulsa passing game ate. Singleton had 48.7 points on three touchdowns, Hayes had 39.1 and Jimmy Calloway added 17.6. Tulane's best score was 9.5.
