TU's Lucas Named AAC Offensive Player Of The Week

Tulsa sophomore receiver Keevan Lucas was named the American Athletic Conference Offensive Player of the Week, as it was announced Monday by the league office.

Lucas helped Tulsa rally from a 21-7 deficit as the Golden Hurricane scored a 38-31 double-overtime win against Tulane in both teams' American Athletic Conference debuts.

Lucas had 13 receptions for 233 yards and three touchdowns, finishing six yards shy of the conference's single-game record for receiving yards. He had touchdown receptions of 43 and 84 yards in the first half, both of which brought Tulsa within seven points of the Green Wave, and his 3-yard TD catch with 2:53 left in regulation and the subsequent two-point conversion forced overtime.

Tulsa hosts No. 3 Oklahoma this Saturday with an 11 a.m. kickoff at H.A. Chapman Stadium.
