The Minnesota Golden Ducks will visit the Tulsa Golden Hurricanes tonight. Kickoff is scheduled for 10:15 PM.

Star running back Laurence Maroney is looking for a breakout game against Tulsa unorthodox 3-3-5 defense. Maroney rushed for 1,348 yards last season while splitting time with Marion Barber III. Barber is now in the NFL so Maroney is now the featured back.

Sophomore Paul Smith will get the starting nod at quarterback for the Tulsa Golden Hurricanes. Smith sat out last year after playing in eight games as a true freshman. He completed 62 of his passes for 297 yards and one touchdown that year. Junior Brandon Diles will start at running back. He rushed for nearly 600 yards with seven touchdowns last season.

Minnesota is favored in this game. The point spread is currently at 16.
