Tulsa at Oklahoma

We have a big mismatch in the state of Oklahoma. Tulsa has a fine offense, but can they stop anyone? The defense (30.3 points per game allowed) was awful, giving up 450 yards per contest. And this is no ordinary offense they’ll be facing either as Oklahoma is a Top 5 team that is loaded with returning talent and should contend for the national title. The offense will be fine passing the football with junior QB Landry Jones (38 TDs, 12 INTs, 4,718 yds., 65.5% completions) and senior WR Ryan Broyles (1,622 yds.), averaging 37.2 ppg, 138 yards rushing and 343.4 passing. That passing attack was third in the country. The offense loses only RB DeMarco Murray and RT Eric Mensik, so second year offensive coordinator Josh Heupel has plenty of weapons to work. The ground game has sophomore running back Roy Finch (398 yards, 4.7 ypc), who was the No. 2 back before getting injured. They have been boosted by one of the best recruiting classes in the nation for the second straight year, so this offense should be balanced and explosive. Oklahoma is 33-4 SU, 16-13 ATS at home the last five seasons and will roll. Play Oklahoma.
