Later in the third, Jones ran for an 81-yard touchdown to extend the margin to 23-14 with 7:22 left in the quarter.
Sam Houston (0-2) took leads of 7-0 and 14-7 when Landyn Locke threw a 39-yard touchdown to Chris Reed three minutes into the game, and then a 94-yard catch-and-run to Jerrian Parker Jr. with 6:48 left before halftime.
Parker emerged untouched out of the backfield, ran untouched in the middle of the field, caught it at the 20 and sprinted the distance down the left seam from there.
Locke threw for 316 yards for the Bearkats.
Jones collected his 125 rushing yards on nine carries for Tulsa.
