UAPB hung on to survive a messy, messy game that had 10 turnovers and 10 sacks. It could have been worse: the teams also had 4 fumbles that did not fall into enemy hands. Thoong was completely outplayed by his counterpart Fred King. But Lowell Vandyke emerged as this season's secret weapon. When the game was on the line, it was VD with the run to pick up the first down, chew the clock, or keep the defense honest.

Tulsa's nickelback Kyle Richard was lost for the season with a shoulderblade break. It's not a huge blow for the Hurricane who are plenty deep at defensive backs. But the severe nature of the injury will do nothing to settle the grudge between the teams.
