The University of Oklahoma began something of a new era with a 60-27 over the University of Tulsa Friday evening.

The game marked a comeback after player eligibility issues and a coaching change related to those issues, with Oklahoma now set to play a full Red River Conference schedule.

The game was open to fans of OU and Tulsa who were in town for Saturday's football game between the two schools. Sooners No. 8 Robin Persignol was heavily involved in play all day and freshman flankers Donovan and Logan Ronan were active, too. Logan Baker made several line breaks and Charles Montenez was a factor in the lineouts as Oklahoma won 60-27.

In the backs flyhalf David Wallace ran a dynamic attack and Rusty Rice showed strong pace at wing. Manny Soto and Michael Al Jiboori were also effective in attack with scrumhalf Anthony Barthas keeping the team in patten and pushing the pace.

Tulsa never gave up with former U20 All American Lorenzo Thomas notching three tries and wing Rob Frazier showing pace.

"The squad addressed issues from a week ago with regard to making and finishing breaks and winning ball in the set pieces," said Oklahoma Head Coach Doug Neubauer. "We have more work to do, but the team is beginning to gel."
