Game summary

Under conference rules, the game was held at the home field of the team with the best record in conference play; since both teams finished C-USA play at 7–1, but Tulsa defeated UCF in their head-to-head match-up two weeks earlier, the game was held at the Golden Hurricane's home field, Skelly Field at H. A. Chapman Stadium in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
The game marked UCF's last conference match-up as a member of Conference USA, as the Knights moved to the American Athletic Conference for the 2013 season.
