SMU took the ball to open the game and started things off with a 73-yard touchdown pass from Preston Stone to Romello Brinson on the 2nd play to give the Mustangs a 7-0 lead. Tulsa took over at its 21-yard line and converted a 3rd and 4 with a screen to pick up the 1st down. SMU’s defense stepped up after that to force a turnover on downs with Ahmad Walker making a tackle for loss on Tulsa quarterback Braylon Braxton.

The Mustangs took over at the Tulsa 41 and were quickly faced with a 4th and 6 at the 37. Stone looked to tight end RJ Maryland, who hauled in the reception for 33 yards. Tyler Lavine punched it in on the ground to take a 14-0 SMU lead with 9:34 to go.

Tulsa used Braxton and receiver Devan Williams to work their way down the field on the next drive. Braxton and Williams connected multiple times, including a 37-yard reception that got Tulsa into the redzone. From there, the drive stalled thanks in part to an Isaiah Smith sack that led to a 35-yard field goal from Chase Meyer to cut it to 14-3.
