Baylor Hayes to Oran Singleton Jr. connection lights it up for Tulsa in 60-10 rout of Tulane

NEW ORLEANS -- — Baylor Hayes threw a career-high four touchdown passes, three of them to Oran Singleton Jr., and Tulsa ruined Tulane's homecoming game with a 60-10 drubbing of the Green Wave on Saturday.

Tulsa (5-4, 2/3 American Conference) came into the game having lost four of its last five, and Tulane (4-5, 2-3) was 3-1 at home this season.

Hayes completed 26 of 33 passes for 338 yards, relying heavily on Singleton, who set career highs with the three touchdowns, 177 yards and 13 receptions. Tulsa dominated in the rushing game as well, churning out 224 yards with no back going over 52 yards.

Tulsa led in total yards, 562-201.

The Golden Hurricane led just 7-0 after one quarter but caught fire with 25 points in the second for a 32-0 halftime lead. It was 46-0 before Tulane got on the board with Cooper Helmke's 38-yard field goal early in the fourth quarter.

Tulane's touchdown came on a 4-yard pass from Dagan Bruno to Bredell Richardson with 2 seconds left in the game.

Tulsa’s three American Conference losses were by a combined 12 points, including a one-point overtime setback against North Texas and a three-point loss to Army.
