TULSA — Normally, short defensive series are good. Just not if they only last a play.
Tulsa scored on the first snap of three drives Saturday afternoon, steamrolling Arkansas State’s defense on the way to a 41-34 win at H.A. Chapman Stadium.
The Golden Hurricane, which entered the game winless, piled up 663 yards of total offense while averaging 9.1 yards per play. Tulsa quarterback Davis Brin needed only 17 completions to throw for 355 yards and three touchdowns, and running back Shamari Brooks added 155 yards and a score on the ground
After trailing 31-14 two minutes into the second half, ASU (1-3) began a quest for a furious comeback.
