This was the Bearcats first visit to Tulsa since 2016, A 40-37 overtime loss to end the season. After a brief but ineffective opening drive, the Bearcats punted the ball to Tulsa. The defense wasted little time in showing that they were going to be factor and the Pace brothers were factors. 3 plays in to the Golden Hurricanes initial drive QB Davis Brin was hurried by LB Ivan Pace Jr. and tried to get a throw off to avoid a sack but the weak throw was intercepted by DeShawn Pace who weaved his way back 18 yards with the stolen loaf to score and give the Bearcats a 7-0 lead. Unfazed, the Golden Hurricane responded with a 14 play 79 yard drive to tie the game with a 2 yard run by Braylon Braxton. After an exchange of punts, the Bearcats went for the quick strike score as Ben Bryant found a wide open Tyler Scott for a 61 yard score on the first play of the first play of their 3rd possession. The Bearcats took a 14-7 lead into 2nd quarter. After a 31 yard punt return by Ryan Montgomery set the Bearcats up in excellent field position inside the Tulsa 25, only 3 plays were needed before sophomore running back Corey Kiner busted up the middle nearly untouched on a 4th and 1 for a 19 yard scoring run. The Bearcats were now up two scores at 21-7. Despite Tulsa closing the gap back to 7, The Bearcats added a 39 yard field goal by Ryan Coe at the halftime gun and took a 24-14 lead. Both teams exchanged 70+ yard touchdown drives on their initial possessions of the 3rd quarter. Tulsa's Deneric Prince scoring his second touchdown from 2 yards out and Josh Wylie snagging a short pass from Ben Bryant on 4th down for a score to push the Bearcat lead back to 10 at 31-21. Neither team would score again, though the BlackCats defense came up with a critical stop inside its own 5 in the 4th quarter after Bryant was intercepted inside his own 25. The story though was the BlackCats defense who made life miserable for Tulsa QB Davis Brin, sacking him 10 times, and recording 11 sacks overall. Senior DL Jabari Taylor led the barrage with 2 ½ sacks with 9 other players registering sacks on Tulsa QB's. The 31-21 win was the Bearcats 17th consecutive win over AAC opponents, gave the Bearcats an 18-17-2 lead in the overall series and their 4th straight over the Golden Hurricane.
