    Damaris Johnson ran sideways through defenders and down the sidelines past them. He didn't stop until he had an NCAA record and a big pineapple-shaped trophy.

    Johnson broke loose for a career-high 326 all-purpose yards to break the NCAA career record and Tulsa took advantage of six first-half turnovers to beat No. 24 Hawaii 62-35 in the Sheraton Hawaii Bowl on Friday night.

    "Coming on this trip out to Hawaii, we knew in the back of our minds that there were a lot of distractions, but we played good and came out with this win," Johnson said. "We have to get on this eight-hour plane ride back home now, so maybe I'll get some sleep on the plane and it'll hit me in the morning."

    The Golden Hurricane (10-3) grounded the nation's No. 1 passing offense most of the night and broke it open with a 21-point third quarter for their seventh straight win and third consecutive bowl victory.
