• Army claimed the most recent meeting on Oct. 5, 2024, at H.A. Chapman Stadium.

LAST TIME OUT
The Golden Hurricane earned a 31-14 victory over Oregon State last Saturday in the first-ever meeting between the programs. With the win, Tulsa takes a 1-0 lead in the series and improves to 3-2 all-time against the Pac-12 Conference.
• Dominic Richardson paced the TU offense with his third 100-yard rushing performance of the season, finishing with 166 yards — his highest single-game total in a Tulsa uniform — while averaging 6.1 yards per carry. Tulsa is now 3-0 this season when Richardson eclipses the 100-yard mark.
• Tight end Brody Foley led the receiving corps with 95 yards and a career-high seven receptions. He scored twice — one receiving and one rushing — bringing his season total to nine touchdowns. Foley's seven receiving touchdowns are the most by a TU tight end since Clay Sears in 2011.
• Linebacker Ray Coney anchored the defense with 10 tackles, including two solo stops, one sack and 1.5 TFLs. Coney now leads the Golden Hurricane with 104 tackles on the season.
• Tulsa opened both halves with touchdown drives for the first time this season. Overall, TU has scored on its first possession of a half four times this year.

FOLEY EMERGING AS ONE OF THE NATION'S TOP TIGHT ENDS
• Tight end Brody Foley continues to shine for the Golden Hurricane, delivering another standout performance against Oregon State. He led all Tulsa receivers with seven receptions for 95 yards and a touchdown, while adding a rushing touchdown on his lone carry.
• Foley's seven catches set a new career high and marked the second straight game that a Tulsa receiver has recorded seven or more receptions.
• Through the 2025 season, Foley has totaled nine touchdowns (seven receiving, two rushing) — the most among all FBS tight ends this year.
• Against Temple, Foley became the first Tulsa tight end with two receiving touchdowns in a game since Connor Vaughn vs. Northwestern State in 2024.
• His multi-touchdown effort also marked the first by any Tulsa player since Joseph Williams caught three touchdowns vs. East Carolina on Nov. 14, 2024.
• In addition to his receiving scores vs. Temple, Foley added his first career rushing touchdown, accounting for three of Tulsa's touchdowns.
• Foley posted a career performance at East Carolina (Oct. 16), recording six receptions for 126 yards and a touchdown. His 100-yard outing was the first by a Tulsa tight end since Clay Sears (105 yards at UAB on Oct. 15, 2011).
• His 126 receiving yards ranks as the 17th-most by any American Conference player this season.
• For his ECU effort, Foley earned John Mackey Award Honorable Mention, recognizing the nation's top tight end performances.
• Foley's seven receiving touchdowns this season are the most by any FBS tight end and the third-most by a Tulsa tight end since 2003.

Rank	Name	Year	Touchdowns
1.	Garrett Mills	2003	10
2.	Garrett Mills	2005	9
3.	Clay Sears	2011	7
	Brody Foley	2025	7

• Brody Foley is averaging 14.8 yards per reception, ranking 11th in the American Conference. Among FBS tight ends with 20+ catches, his average ranks seventh nationally.
• He leads Tulsa with 504 receiving yards, the most by a Golden Hurricane tight end since Clay Sears (469 in 2011), and the fourth-most among all FBS tight ends this season. He also owns the most receiving yards by any tight end in the American Conference. Only four FBS tight ends have surpassed 500 yards in 2025.
Since 1995, only two Tulsa tight ends have surpassed 500 receiving yards in a single season — and Brody Foley is now the first to do it in 20 years. The only other tight end to reach that mark is Garrett Mills, who posted 560 yards in 2004 and 1,235 yards in 2005.
• Foley recorded a 72-yard touchdown against Tulane — the longest play of the season for Tulsa and the longest reception of his career.
• A consistent scoring threat, Foley has recorded a touchdown in six of his ten games, and his first two career receptions both resulted in touchdowns.
• Foley also brings significant big-play production, logging nine receptions of 20+ yards this season, including three against Oregon State last weekend.

RAY CONEY ANCHORS TULSA DEFENSE
• Ray Coney has been the backbone of the Golden Hurricane defense through ten games, leading the American Conference and ranking eighth nationally with 104 total tackles.

• His previous single-season best was 97 tackles in 2024 at ETSU.
• In 2024, Gavin Potter (75) and Dayne Hodge (60) led TU in total tackles.

- East-West Shrine Bowl 1,000 Player Watch List

BALL HAWK GREEN

• Green opened the season with an interception vs. Abilene Christian, added a fumble recovery at New Mexico State, and recorded two first-quarter interceptions vs. Navy — his first career multi-interception game.
• He matched that performance with two more interceptions at Memphis, becoming the first Tulsa player since 2013 to record multiple two-interception games in a season.

• Through ten games, he has totaled 51 tackles, five interceptions, seven pass breakups, and one fumble recovery, ranking fifth on the team in tackles.

HAYES ON THE RISE FOR THE GOLDEN HURRICANE

• Against Temple, Hayes posted career highs with 296 passing yards, and three touchdown passes, setting new personal bests in both categories.
• His 296 yards rank 7th all-time among Tulsa freshman quarterbacks, while his three touchdown passes are tied for the third-most by a TU freshman.

• On the season, Hayes is averaging 216.5 passing yards per game, ranking ninth among American Conference quarterbacks.
• With 1,732 passing yards, Hayes stands second on Tulsa's all-time freshman single-season list. Only T.J. Rubley's 2,058 yards in 1987 rank higher.
• His 10 passing touchdowns are tied for second on TU's freshman single-season chart (Cardell Williams – 2023; Braylon Braxton – 2022) and he is just two TDs shy of matching Rubley's freshman record.
• Nationally, Hayes' 1,732 yards and 10 touchdowns both rank among the top 15 FBS freshman quarterbacks this season.
• Hayes has been central to Tulsa's explosive aerial attack, accounting for 23 of TU's 31 completions of 20+ yards, including the team's longest play of the year — a 72-yard touchdown to Brody Foley vs. Tulane.

LUCKY SEVENS
• Against Florida Atlantic, Grayson Tempest and Ajay Allen each recorded seven receptions, marking a career high for both players.

• This marks the sixth time this season in which a Tulsa player has recorded seven or more catches. Zion Booker leads the team with three such games, while Allen, Tempest, and Foley each have one.

RICHARDSON POWERS TULSA BACKFIELD
• Dominic Richardson has solidified himself as Tulsa's lead running back, averaging 18.4 carries and 86.2 rushing yards per game this season.
• His 4.7 yards per carry in 2025 is the second-best mark of his career, trailing only his 5.1 average as a freshman at Oklahoma State.

His season total ranks 4th in the American and 26th nationally.

• Across 55 career games, Richardson has totaled 2,629 rushing yards on 612 carries (4.3 ypc) and ranks 20th among active FBS players in career rushing yardage. He is one of just 20 active FBS players with over 2,600 career rushing yards.

RUN DEFENSE STANDS TALL
