“Coach Dan Hawkins and his staff have a really good team.� They have played a lot harder schedule than a lot of people.� That is obvious when you are on the road at Arizona State and hosting Florida State.� There are not a lot of teams willing to do that.� I think they are a very tough team, and last year I thought they were one of the better defenses in our league and in the country.� This team does a really good job of being a tough, physical team defensively. |
| “Offensively, their quarterback situation with Cody Hawkins is different from a year ago.� He is much more of a threat throwing the football and they are doing that more and more.� They have good running backs and they have a lot of motion.� They are a very disciplined offense.� Defensively, we have to handle all of their motion and be in the proper positions.� We have had a lot of training for it leading into this game.� |

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. |

| NORMAN, Okla. — Tulsa coach Todd Graham can forget poring over tape this week to try to figure out Oklahoma’s early offensive strategy after Friday’s 7 p.m. kickoff. |
| “I don’t tell anybody what we’re doing until our first play and sometimes I don’t even know until I sit down [in the press box],” Wilson confessed after Saturday’s 54-3 victory over Utah State, a game OU led 38-3 at the half. |
| “I think I have enough confidence in our skill-position players and our line and the way our quarterback is playing that I don’t want to go in there feeling like my hands are tied behind my back,” he said. |

| The made-for-television matchup has fourth-ranked Oklahoma (3-0) playing on a Friday night for only the second time since Big 12 play started in 1996 and the first time since the 2002 season opener was also played at Tulsa. |
| Before that, the Sooners’ last Friday game was the last of a series of day-after-Thanksgiving games against Big Eight foe Nebraska in the 1995 regular-season finale. |
