Tulsa Dominates Second Half to Beat Sam Houston | Tulsa News

Tulsa’s Golden Hurricane stunned Sam Houston with a gritty 23-17 victory, turning a halftime deficit into a dominant second-half surge. Trequan Jones carried the load with 125 rushing yards and two touchdowns, including an electrifying 81-yard dash that sealed the win. Tristan Lawyer’s 56-yard TD run early in the third quarter shifted momentum, and despite Sam Houston’s Landyn Locke throwing for 316 yards and a 94-yard bomb to Jerrian Parker Jr., the Bearkats couldn’t overcome Tulsa’s late-game explosion. Now 2-2, Tulsa eyes another win against East Texas A&M next Saturday, while Sam Houston faces Nicholls in an FCS showdown.
