Sooners, Tulsa bring top offenses into clash
|
| The in-state matchup will feature two of the nation’s top four offenses, with Oklahoma (3-0) featuring a more conventional approach and Tulsa using the frenetic no-huddle scheme offensive coordinator Gus Malzahn never got to use in his days at Arkansas. |
| The Golden Hurricane (2-0) have averaged 559 yards — the fourth-highest mark in the nation — and last week gained 595 yards in a 55-47 shootout win against BYU. The problem has been a defense that’s given up nearly as much — 486 total yards and 184.5 on the ground per game. A fourth-quarter stand and five takeaways allowed Tulsa to overcome 694 yards allowed in a 55-47 victory against BYU last week. |
| Tulsa has the most potent offense the Sooners have faced so far, but the Oklahoma defense figures to provide the biggest test of the season for the Golden Hurricane. |

Ironic title. Since 1 hour is about all your guys had to travel for their first “away” game.
