Tulsa's loss to Wyoming in the season opener last week brought back memories of the 2010 season opener at East Carolina. In that 2010 game, Tulsa lost 51-49 on the last play of the game, a jump ball Hail Mary pass into the end zone at East Carolina. What could have been a crushing loss, however, didn't ruin the season. Tulsa started slow but won its last 7 games, including a win at Notre Dame, and finished the 2010 season 10-3.
But with that said, Tulsa really needs a victory to get back on track when it hosts a very capable Northern Illinois squad on Saturday at 6 p.m. at H.A. Chapman Stadium in Tulsa's home opener in a game it is favored by 6 points.
