Big plays by Kirk Francis were memorable and often. But that was only a small percentage of the explosion in a game of long touchdowns. Francis did what he had to do, and squelched, at least for now, any talk of a quarterback controversy, completing 23 of 30 passes for 299 yards and 4 TD passes. A few of those big plays were done by both teams early, and it kept it interesting in the first quarter. But by halftime, the game was over, and Tulsa won 62-28 in front of 16,043 fans at H.A. Chapman Stadium.
