The Mean Green are all smiles after the 54-12 runaway.

NT Swamps Tulsa For Conference Crown

The Tulsa Hurricane blew into Fouts Field as the No. 2 passing team in the nation and looking for a replay of last year's title game.

The Eagles, remembering their 30-27 defeat, did a little blowing of their own and knocked the Hurricane windless, 54-12.

16,500 fans watched the Mean Green batter Tulsa for the MVC championship as quarterback Steve Ramsey passed for 274 yards and four touchdowns. Ronnie Shanklin caught three passes for TDs.

The Tulsa offense was smothered by the Mean Green, while the Eagles rolled up 480 yards and eight touchdowns.
