The first was a 65-yard drive capped by a 26-yard touchdown pass to Cole Beasley. The second started when Brian McCann intercepted a pass in the end zone. The Mustangs would drive 80 yards in four plays, ending with an 18-yard touchdown pass to Aldrick Robinson.

Tulsa would respond on its next drive compliling a 70-yard drive and a 15-yard touchdown pass. The Mustangs and Golden Hurricane would trade field goals at the end of the half, a 46-yard field goal for Thomas Morstead and a 34-yard field goal for Tracy.

Mitchell finished the half completing 11 of 19 passes for 142 yards and two touchdowns. Butler led the rushing game with 78 yards on six carries.
