OU - Tulsa Preview

So you're wondering how the Golden Hurricane matches up to the

Sooners? Well, it's closer than you'd think.

Offense

This is closer than I would have previously expected. TU has more prpven QB, but OU gets the nod on the other skill positions and the O-line.

Defense

Tulsa gave up 40+ points to BYU. Sooners have relinqueshed 26 in three games.

Special Teams

I can't name a player on TU other than Courtney Tennial and Paul Smith. Go read the paper or something if you want special teams analysis.

Stadium Name
Tie

Skelly Field at H.A. Chapman Stadium vs Gaylord Family-Oklahoma Memorial Stadium at Owen Field.

Coaching

Todd Graham is in his first year at TU. He took Rice from miserable to bowl eligible last year. Also added Mustain from Arkansas staff. I'll stick w Bob.

Cool Alumni

Tulsa claims Dr. Phil as a former student. Apparently he went there on a football scholarship. Other alumni include Steve Largent, Nancy Lopez and Drew Pearson. Senator and anti-global warming advocate Jim Inhofe also attended.

We keep playing schools where Dr. Phil went to school.We overlooked Midwestern State when scheduling.

Previous School Name

Nothing rolls off the tongue like "Presbyterian Indian School for Girls".

FYI: Tulsa hired Malzahn from Arkansas. Mustain transferred to USC.
