Smith leads big comeback for Tulsa over No. 19 SMU
Associated PressTULSA, Okla. — Tulsa once again managed to pull off an amazing comeback. Shane Buechele completed 18 of 36 passes for 200 yards and one touchdown, along with one interception, for SMU, which missed an opportunity to move ahead of Tulsa into second place in the American standings. “We just went into the locker room and made good adjustments,” said Tulsa linebacker Zaven Collins, whose interception with 1:29 remaining sealed the victory, of the Golden Hurricane’s second half defensive performance. TAKEAWAY SMU: The Mustangs, who entered the game 10th in the nation with 13 takeaways, got two more on Tulsa’s first two possessions and they played a big role in their early lead., Brandon Crossley recorded his team-leading fourth interception when he picked off Smith’s pass and returned it 18 yards for the game’s first touchdown. That gave the Golden Hurricane a first down on the 1 and two plays later, Wilkerson broke through for a touchdown, pulling Tulsa to within 24-14 with 2:51 left in the third.
