It's 'Friday Night Lights' as the Tulsa Golden Hurricane (3-1) opens American Athletic Conference play at 7:05 p.m. Friday night against the SMU Mustangs (2-3, 0-1 The American) in front of a nationally televised audience on ESPN2.
After an open week, Tulsa returns to the field for the first time since a 48-41 double overtime road win over Fresno State, while the Mustangs are coming off a 45-20 road loss to the Temple Owls last Saturday. This is the 23rd meeting between Tulsa and SMU as the Mustangs lead the overall series 13-9, but Tulsa has won the last two games.
