Tulsa vs Oklahoma NCAA Football Spread/Handicapping

If Tulsa was ever going to break through against their really big in-state brother this year might be the season to do it. Sure it is hard to win in Norman for anyone but this year especially the Sooners are looking a little more vulnerable than usual.

Last week they were supposed to throttle a West Virginia depleted by the NFL draft but they only won by 9 and to say that their rookie QB experiment is not turning out so great is a bit of an understatement at the moment.

Tulsa has not been world beaters either but they have experience where it matters most.

I am curious to see what happens.

Tulsa

You can tell by the total on this one that things have changed for both of these programs this year – they used to be among the most potent scoring teams in America. Tulsa has been consistently good for a while now but they haven’t collected any scalps that would get them national attention like some other mid majors.

Maybe this is the year with a senior quarterback who knows all about wanting to beat Oklahoma given he started his career at Nebraska in Cody Green. The only problem is that the offense hasn’t been up to usual Tulsa standards averaging just 18.5ppg after two contests and it not like they have been playing against top defenses either (Bowling Green and Colorado State).

The Oklahoma offense has been stalled too but I think there are going to need at least a few touchdowns if they want to actually pull the upset. [soliloquy id=”82219″]

Oklahoma

The Oklahoma Sooners are still undefeated but they haven’t looked great through a couple of games, at least not offensively. Lately they have been one of the most prolific passing teams in the nation but through the first couple of games they have thrown for less than 250 yards total – that used to be a good half in the Sam Bradford/Landry Jones eras.

There was a lot of surprise when Oklahoma named freshman Trevor Knight the starting QB over the more seasoned Blake Bell (who is supposed to actually have a cannon arm). Knight’s play has been poor with less than a 50% completion percentage and three interceptions.

It hasn’t cost them a game yet but as the competition improves in the B12 that just won’t do. Defensively the Sooners never really get their do but through two games they have given up only 7 points. That and a running game that has averaged more than 300 yards per game are what has kept them out of the loss column so far.

Both are impressive but will they hold.
