Home games against conference foes Houston, Memphis, Navy and Temple along with non-league road games at Oklahoma State and Ohio State highlight Tulsa’s 2021 football schedule.
The Golden Hurricane schedule includes a total of seven teams that were invited to bowl games after the 2020 regular season. Three of those opponents ended the season ranked among the nation’s top-20, including No. 2 Ohio State, No. 8 Cincinnati and No. 20 Oklahoma State.
The Hurricane is coming off a 6-3 record, a 6-0 league mark, an appearance in the American Athletic Conference Championship and wins over two top-20 ranked teams –– No. 11 UCF and No. 19 SMU.
“Obviously, our preseason schedule is very difficult. I love that we’re able to open the 2021 season at home in what we hope will be a packed H.A. Chapman Stadium on a Thursday night against UC Davis,” said coach Philip Montgomery.
“We know the challenges that lie ahead of us during the first month with road games at Oklahoma State and Ohio State.”
The American Athletic Conference schedule has the Hurricane playing three of four games in the month of October at H.A. Chapman Stadium, while three of Tulsa’s final four games are on the road.
