When there’s a blowout by upwards of eight touchdowns the team on the losing side is usually an FCS or even a Division II program. But right now it’s a Group of Five team getting humiliated by one of their rivals.
After three quarters of today’s game between SMU and Tulsa, the SMU Mustangs were leading the Golden Hurricanes by a score of 66-3. And there’s still a full quarter to play.
SMU scored 28 points in the first quarter and added another 24 in the second quarter for a 52-3 halftime lead. The Mustangs pulled their foot off the gas in the third quarter but still added another 14 points while Tulsa remained scoreless.
Fans on X can hardly believe how much pain SMU is inflicting on Tulsa:
Someone call the police one SMU for what they doing to Tulsa

Did Tulsa say something about an SMU player’s Momma? They’ve been taken behind the woodshed. https://t.co/q7f1OHWvAU

This isn’t the first time that SMU has dropped 60 on a team. Earlier this year they scored 69 points on Prairie View A&M. But the Panthers are an FCS team.
Last week they beat AAC cellar-dweller Temple 55-0. Very impressive.
But this is just downright brutal.
Tulsa isn’t exactly a great defense though. They lost 66-17 to Oklahoma back in September.
The “game” is being played on ESPNU.
