RB JAMES FLANDERS

• Senior running back James Flanders finished the game with 163 rushing yards. He now has 1,332 rushing yards on the season and moved past Micheal Gunter (1983), Gordon Brown (1985), Tarrion Adams (1,225), Chris Hughley (1991) and Trey Watts (2013) into fourth place on Tulsa’s season chart. Flanders needs 191 yards to tie Adams (2008) for the school record.

• Flanders now has 15 rushing touchdowns this season, which is fourth most in school history.

• He also has 1,880 career rushing yards and needs 120 yards to become the 13th Tulsa player to hit the 2,000-yard mark.

• While playing together, Flanders and Brewer have a combined 4,071 rushing yards, which is the third most for any Tulsa duo as well as the third time any Tulsa duo has combined for 4,000-plus yards. Flanders and Brewer trail Michael Gunter and Ken Lacy (1980-82) by 315 yards for second.

EVANS / FLANDERS / BREWER / LUCAS / ATKINSON

• These five Tulsa players are on the verge of setting a new career record as the only team in NCAA history to have one 3,000-yard passer, two 1,000-yard rushers and two 1,000-yard receivers.

• For this to happen, Evans needs 261 passing yards, Lucas needs 12 receiving yards and Atkinson needs 169 receiving yards.

PK REDFORD JONES

• Jones scored five points and now has 107 points on the season. He surpassed Steve Gage (1985) and Brad DeVault (2005) for eighth on Tulsa’s season chart. Jones is fourth on Tulsa’s season scoring chart for kicking only and needs five points to tie Kevin Fitzpatrick (2010) for the school record.

LB TRENT MARTIN
