Great song, better post title. The Sooners come into this test fresh off of a great (however improbable) win that took me back to the early Stoops era where wins were pulled out with regularity. It was the opposite of a gut punch and was so much fun to watch. Let's hope it doesn't breed complacency and rather pushes the boys on a roll that lasts all season.
There was much hand wringing about Mayfield and his lack of production last week until the 4th quarter/OT. Maybe I'm crazy but I thought he did a fine job through the game. It was basically, hike, run for your life each down. Couple that with several drops and he wasn't exactly set up for success.
Tulsa has been scoring points in buckets this season. Admittedly their competition hasn't been the best, but it still takes talent to score. I think our D will be tested and this has all of the makings of a trap game. Let's hope the Sooners stay focused and do what everyone expects today.
Offense
So far, the Air Raid attack has been on high and as a result the ground game hasn't exactly dropped jaws. I think the coaching staff uses this game as an attempt tune up the balance and get the ground game going. Samaje busts out today and gets his first hundo of the season and finds the end zone at least once.
Defense
There has been a clear cut best player on the defense this season so far, and it's someone who's not been mentioned much on this blog apart from the mention of his cameo on Hill Street Blues. That guy is Devante Bond. Bond was all over the field last week and I think he will be again. The man has been an absolute beast.
Score
I think Tulsa will score a lot on OU today, they run the fast pace aerial attack that generally gives the defense fits. Pair that with the trap game set up (coming off a huge win/going into a bye/seemingly lesser opponent) and this will be tougher than anyone thinks. As I mentioned, Tulsa scores, they also give up a lot of points. OU wins this one and heads into the off week 3-0. Sooners take it 44-34.
