TULSA 45 - SAN JOSE STATE 10: FULL GAME RECAP | BOX SCORE & STATISTICS

Tulsa was favored in its season-opener against Mountain West Conference opponent San Jose State, but not many were expecting a 45-10 blowout. The high scoring affair was a result of big plays on offense, defense and special teams, not to mention several notable individual performances.
