(4) Oklahoma at Tulsa

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.
