Tulsa, Oklahoma - The Tulsa Golden Hurricane returns home to H.A. Chapman Stadium on Saturday to face the SMU Mustangs on Homecoming. Game time is 1:00 pm. Tulsa plays on its home field for just the third time in the first eight games, but it will be the first of four of the final five games at Chapman Stadium for the Hurricane.
Tulsa comes into the contest with an overall 4-3 mark, while SMU has a 3-4 record. The two teams are tied with Houston and UTEP with a 2-1 mark in the Conference USA West Division.
Tulsa and SMU have had some close battles over the years, as the Mustangs lead the series 10-6. The Hurricane has won four of the last six contests, including a 37-31 win a year ago. Eleven of the 16 games have been decided by 10 or less points, including the last two games being decided by six points each.
Fans may remember the 99-yard touchdown drive in the final minute in 2007 that saw Paul Smith throw a 51-yard TD pass to Charles Clay with 0:43 left on the game clock for a 29-23 victory over the Mustangs.
In addition to Homecoming, the game is "Take a Kid to the Game", where children 8th grade and under can get in free when an adult pays full admission. Ticket prices are $15, $25 and $35.
