Tulsa-Navy Football Game Postponed

TULSA, Okla. –– The American Athletic Conference has announced that Saturday's football game between Tulsa and Navy in Annapolis, Md., has been postponed due to positive COVID-19 cases at the Naval Academy and the ensuing contact tracing of student-athletes.

Whereas Tulsa and Navy do not share a common open date through the rest of the 2020 season, The American will consider a number of options with regard to the playing of the contest.

This is the fourth time that a Tulsa game has been postponed or canceled due to COVID cases, including Arkansas State, Oklahoma State and Cincinnati. In addition, the Toledo and Arkansas State games were canceled before the season opened. The Oklahoma State contest was moved back a week to Sept. 19, while the Cincinnati game is scheduled to be played on Dec. 5.

"We knew that this season would be different in the face of the pandemic, and unfortunately has forced another weekend without football for our team," said Tulsa's Director of Athletics Rick Dickson. "I'm disappointed for our football student-athletes and coaches who continue to work and practice diligently, but it reinforces the challenge facing all programs."

Tulsa will be home next Saturday, Nov. 14, as the Golden Hurricane faces the No. 18-ranked SMU Mustangs at H.A. Chapman Stadium. Game time is set for 6:00 p.m. and will air on ESPN2.

Tickets for the SMU game will go on sale to the general public tomorrow, Friday, Nov. 6 at 8:30 a.m. online at Tulsahurricane.com/tickets.
