Quarterback play dooms TU

Tulsa Beacon

This was the year I thought the University of Tulsa football team had a good shot at beating neighboring rival Arkansas. Boy, was I wrong. As bad as the Razorbacks are, they were still able to shut out a Tulsa team that has been struggling all season, 23-0, at Fayetteville on Saturday. The two teams…
