Get to Know the Opponent: Tulsa

The long wait is finally over. College football season is back, and it is officially game week for Michigan State for the first time in 2019. The Spartans will once again open up the season on a Friday night under the lights in East Lansing. The team awaiting the Spartans first out of the gate is Tulsa. I would suspect that most people are not all that familiar with Tulsa football, and that is why you have come to the right place. Let’s get the season rolling and get to know our first opponent.

School: University of Tulsa

Nickname: Golden Hurricane

Conference: American Athletic Conference

Location: Tulsa, Oklahoma

Head Coach: Phillip Montgomery (5th season, 21-29)
