Tulsa World: UC Davis 19, Tulsa 17: Aggies shock Hurricane in season opener

"An uninspiring and uneven performance in the season opener turned into a full-blown disaster Thursday night for the University of Tulsa, which lost to an FCS-level team for the first time in 35 years.

"A three-touchdown favorite, the Hurricane was affected by costly suspensions, avoidable penalties and a general lack of efficiency, resulting in a dismal 19-17 defeat against UC Davis at H.A. Chapman Stadium....

".... I’m not taking anything away from UC Davis, but I felt like most of the time it was us stopping us and not the other way around...."

Why did Tulsa even pass?

UC Davis beats Tulsa (FBS) 19-17 in the season-opener. Whitney/ARC product Hunter Rodrigues was terrific going 28/35 for 311 yards. He also threw a touchdown to McCallan Castles. The UCD defense made plays.

IMO, the Big Sky is the best FCS football conference in the country.

FCS UC-Davis defeated Tulsa 19-17 tonight. Davis is currently coached by Dan Hawkins, who you might remember from his “This ain’t intramurals, brother” rant while he was head coach at Colorado.

3rd Down Efficiency
Ags 10 of 19

Tulsa averaged 7.9 yards per carry... thank you for throwing the ball!

We're building a resume for upsets.

- Stanford
- San Jose State
- Tulsa

No UC Davis PSA tonight?

Except for run Defense. Major win.

MVP shared between:
- Harrell
- Venable
- Rodriguez
- Gomez (oversight)
- Tulsa 12 penalties & 3 TOs

Would be a major statement. We've gone to our bench on D.

Harrell, Rodriguez, Venable huge.

Ugh. Not impressed w that play calling. We have stud TEs, are they busy helping the O line w protection?

Play action?

HUGE!!!

We need 7. I think I need a Sonos, another Analyst that can't stop talking.

Venable is tops in tackling, but are they also going after him?

Harrell coming up huge.

We should beat Tulsa just bc of that ridiculous "ju ju" hat Prince has on the sideline.

Don't forget, Tulsa may be down 6 players.

What's an ad version (Tune In)? Thank you in advance.

YES!!!

54-yard completion... I think Hawk was playing Conservative last Spring.

EDIT: I have to believe having size at DT helps in games like this.

We have to pay for the Tune In radio app?

Harrell having success, new untested DBs. Chaz Davis!

Venable doing well, or getting beat? Poor clock mgmt again? We had 3 TOs. Penalties bailed out our O ... why not more use of TEs?

Ugly downs.

FWIW, the announcers sound fair but something I don't like... their voices and repeating themselves.

Young OC?
