As the second half continued, the tension built for Texas Longhorns fans.
The Tulsa Golden Hurricane seemed to find its rhythm late and managed to string together three consecutive scoring drives, while holding the Longhorns to two punts and a turnover, to close the game to three scores.
Tulsa’s offense seemed to find another gear in the fourth, as quarterback Luke Skipper gained confidence and began to move the ball with greater ease. The Golden Hurricane offense put up 104 of its 164 passing yards in the fourth quarter, and while only one of its touchdowns came through the air, Shamari Brooks’s one-yard touchdown run was set up by a 48-yard completion to Keylon Stokes.
