The Hurricane 20-11 last season captured an 89-60 victory over Missouri Southern in its lone exhibition contest last week.

Ex-TU players get ‘half of redemption’
Tulsa World – Nov 11, 2007
Blanchard surveying the field from a second-floor Case Athletic Center letterman’s lounge rose from his chair and clapped after Tulsa put the finishing touches on a 56-7 clubbing of defending Conference USA champion Houston. It was a round of applause that was four decades in the making. Blanchard was a redshirt player at Tulsa in 1968 when the Hurricane was dealt a 100-6 defeat by Houston.

And Elmo Wright was on the field on the very last play.
