Explosive first quarter not enough for ISU

Record setting day was double edged sword for Cyclones

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — Tulsa coach Bill Blankenship wouldn’t say whether this was the best season in school history. He just let the numbers speak for themselves.

“History will decide all that,” Blankenship said Monday after Tulsa capped its second 11-win season in school history with a 38-17 Liberty Bowl victory over Iowa State. “What I meant is that they’ve accomplished some things that nobody has done. That’s what I want to give them credit for.”

Tulsa also went 11-3 in 2008, but that team lost to East Carolina in the Conference USA championship game. This Tulsa team matched a school record in victories while also capturing the Conference USA title and winning the Liberty Bowl.
