Game Recap
|
|
Tulsa raced to another GMAC Bowl win and a couple more records, too. Tarrion Adams rushed for 207 yards and three touchdowns in the 45-13 win over No. 23 Ball State on a soggy night. The Golden Hurricane (11-3) finished with a school-record 11 victories. Adams passed Micheal Gunter to become Tulsa's career rushing leader. Tulsa had 439 yards rushing and 632 overall - hardly slowing down a bit by rain that first formed puddles and then covered nearly the entire field during a second-half deluge. Full story

I really thought SOMEONE would get a win for the MAC in these bowl games ... I thought Central Michigan was virtually a lock to beat Florida Atlantic, but I was wrong. Maybe next year they can get back on track. This game was almost as bad as the stomping Rice laid on Western Michigan. Post your thoughts!

"We expected to win. We weren't going to have it any other way. I felt like where we had an advantage on them was how physical we are. We got into a rhythm early and we had them off-balance on some things."
