Tulsa, Okla. — Tulsa Oilers Football, a proud member of the IFL and powered by Community Care, finished off the Iowa Barnstormers with a 39-31 victory at the BOK Center.

Tulsa responded with their first touchdown of the game at the 11:45 marker of the second via a 1-yard rush by QB Daniel Smith into the end zone, giving the Oilers a 7-3 lead. Tulsa would repeat the same scoring play on a 1-yard rush by Smith again for a score making it 13-3 Oilers with 3:25 left in the half. Tre Harvey would follow that up by returning a short field goal attempt by Iowa that was returnable in the end zone all the way back for a score to make it 19-3 Tulsa with 0:48 remaining in the second quarter.
