The Tulane Green Wave come to Norman on a beautiful Saturday to take on our 2-0 Sooners. The Sooners looked like wet turd on offense last week in a much closer than the oddsmakers predicted 16-12 nailbiter against hapless Houston. The defense looked good and sealed the game. It looks like they may have to do that for the foreseeable future.
Tulane gave a scare to Kansas State last week in New Orleans. The Sooners had better be ready to play.
OFFENSE
The offensive line is putrid. They got no push in the run game and they were undisciplined in the final moments with an inexplicable personal foul almost costing them the game.
Today's OPOG has to be Jackson Arnold unfortunately. He has to figure out a way to manage this team and figure out a way to get some yards on first down. They can't be living in 3rd a long. This is the last week before it gets "real". With this offensive line, I have serious doubts.
It doesn't look like Nic Anderson is back yet, either, so JA has his work cut out for him.
DEFENSE
This group is playing hard and by and large doing the right thing. They had one bad breakdown last week which is going to happen.
That said they have to be better to cover this offense. That's wild to think in the modern era, but here we are.
Today I like Gracen Halton for my DPOG. He's at 2.5 sacks thus far and he's a big, disruptive fella. Why not?
THE SCORE
It turns out that some concerning hallmarks of the Brent Venables era is a lack of discipline and poor ball control and clock management at the ends of halves.
I can't believe the lack of confidence in the Sooners offense at this point. Perhaps they can fill a hole or two on the line this week.
I'll take the Sooners 31, Tulane 17
Boomer to the motherfuckin Sooner.
