Tulsa Takes Wild Win Against NIU, 38-35

TULSA, Okla. -- Davis Brin passed for 322 yards and four touchdowns as Tulsa emerged from a fourth quarter that saw four lead changes with a wild 38-35 win against Northern Illinois Saturday at H.A. Chapman Stadium.

The Golden Hurricane, which held a 24-7 halftime lead, had to battle from behind to pick up its first win of the season after the Huskies took a pair of fourth-quarter leads. But Brin hit Keylon Stokes for a 1-yard touchdown with 10:36 left to give Tulsa a 31-28 advantage, and the duo connected for a 31-yard strike to the NIU 1-yard line to set up Steven Anderson's short touchdown to put the Hurricane ahead for good.
