There were no conference title race implications or bowl eligibility scenarios. Friday night’s nationally televised showdown was between a 1-9 South Florida squad and a 3-7 Tulsa team hosting senior night.
Yet, the mid-November delivered in entertainment value with spectacular offensive performances across the board. There were 90 points, 11 touchdowns, 1,072 yards of total offense, and a myriad of explosive plays throughout the contest. In the end, Tulsa’s offense emerged one step ahead of South Florida in a 48-42 thriller on the plains.
Senior night is always an emotional game for players hoping to deliver one final memorable performance in the venue they called home for years.
