FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Connor Noland passed for 124 yards and a touchdown in the first start of his career to lead Arkansas to a 23-0 win over visiting Tulsa on Saturday afternoon in front of 56,691 fans at Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium.
Shamari Brooks led the Golden Hurricane (1-6) on offense with 91 yards rushing on 20 carries, while Corey Taylor II had 86 all-purpose yards (54 rushing, 32 receiving). In addition, Keylon Stokes had a career-high 74 yards on three catches (24.7 ypc).
Zaven Collins paced the TU defense with a career-high 14 tackles and McKinley Whitfield added a season-best 11 stops to go along with three pass break-ups and an interception. The TU defense allowed just 327 yards of offense, its third-lowest allowed this season.
Rakeem Boyd had 99 yards rushing and added another 14 through the air for the Razorbacks (2-6), who snapped a six-game losing streak. Arkansas racked up 196 yards on the ground with five ball carriers who each posted at least 20 yards rushing.
Defense was the story early on for both teams as neither squad was able to get on the scoreboard in the first quarter.
Whitfield put an end to the first two Arkansas drives, first with an interception before a pass break-up on the home squad's next possession. In all, he posted five tackles, four of which were solo stops, with the interception and two pass break-ups in the opening half.
Tulsa twice had the ball inside the Razorbacks' 25-yard line during the opening quarter, but each drive stalled and ended in a missed field goal to keep the game scoreless.
Arkansas broke through with a field goal of its own early in the second quarter and pushed its advantage to 10-0 on a 7-yard touchdown pass from Noland to Grayson Gunter just before halftime.
The Razorbacks doubled their lead in the third quarter with another Connor Limpert field goal and a Maleek Williams 4-yard touchdown run that made it 20-0. The home squad added one more field goal with 8:19 left in the contest that provided the final 23-0 margin.
Tulsa will return to American Athletic Conference play when it hosts Tulane (2-4, 1-1) on Saturday, Oct. 27. Kickoff from H.A. Chapman Stadium is set for 6 p.m.
