Once again in a close game, Tulsa could not come up with the plays needed down the stretch. UCONN moved in a positive direction with a 20-14 win over the Golden Hurricane on Saturday while Tulsa must regroup once again and were unable to capitalize on their monster win over Houston last week.
UCONN held a 17-point lead through the end of the third quarter and while the Golden Hurricane managed to make a comeback in the fourth quarter, they were unable to make the biggest play when they needed to. Luke Skipper threw an incomplete pass to Keenan Johnson on UCONN’s nine yard line in the last play of the game, with Junior Joseph breaking up the potential game-winning touchdown.
