Oklahoma State has had a historical edge over Tulsa, winning 23 consecutive games in Stillwater that has dated back to the 1950s. The last time the Golden Hurricane beat the Cowboys was in 1951, meaning that a victory for them would end a 74-year winless streak.
Luckily for the Golden Hurricane, they found the perfect day to stun the Cowboys. They took a 16-3 lead at halftime and did everything they needed to do down the stretch to secure the historic road win. That much was the case as college football insider Brett McMurphy emphasized on social media after the game.
"Tulsa wins at Oklahoma State for 1st time since 1951, when school was called Oklahoma A&M. Golden Hurricane had lost 23 consecutive in Stillwater. Huge win for @CoachTreLamb9," McMurphy wrote.
