The Talons extended their home winning streak to 13 games by defeating the Vipers 62–56, overcoming a 15-point deficit at halftime. Tied at 42–42 at the start of the 4th quarter, Tulsa had their first lead of the game when Jamar Ransom sacked Viper quarterback Kevin Eakin in the end zone for a safety. After the Talons received the free kick, Odie Armstrong ran 37 yards for a touchdown. Though the extra point was blocked the Talons now had a 50–42 advantage. Tulsa's defense stopped the Viper offense on the next drive, causing Alabama to turn the ball over on downs. With possession again, the Talons drove up the field for another touchdown, scored by Donovan Morgan on a 4-yard pass from Justin Allgood. The Vipers made it a 6-point game with 28 seconds left after a touchdown run, but their ensuing onside kick was recovered by Tulsa, who ran out the clock to preserve the win.

Allgood completed 23 of 31 passes for 244 yards and 7 touchdowns. Morgan had the most touchdown catches on the team with 4, but Carlese Franklin led in receiving yards with 110.
