TULSA, Okla. –– Tulsa scored 21 second-half points and held off a late Memphis drive to claim a 35-29 victory Saturday night in front of a Homecoming crowd of 17,593 fans at H.A. Chapman Stadium.

Tulsa improved to 2-4 overall and 1-1 in American Athletic Conference play, while Memphis fell to 3-3 and 0-2 in the league.

Josh Johnson's 63-yard touchdown reception and Anthony Watkins' 44-yard scoring run in the fourth quarter and Tulsa's defense was enough to hold off the Tigers from mounting a final quarter comeback.
