“Breaking News : Two Oklahoma Stars players Suspended Amid Controversy Just Before Pivotal Matchup from………
Here’s what to watch as the Oklahoma Sooners host the Tulane Green Wave in Week 3 of college football, along with our updated prediction.
The Oklahoma Sooners face pressure, especially head coach Brent Venables, after a lackluster performance last week. With a challenging SEC opener on the horizon, Oklahoma takes on Tulane, a formidable Group of Five team, in Week 3 on Saturday.
Tulane comes into the game strong despite a coaching change. They boast the longest active road win streak at 10 games, a 24-6 record over the last two seasons, and nearly upset a ranked Kansas State team last week.
Tulane’s running back Makhi Hughes exceeded 100 yards rushing last week and pairs well with quarterback Darian Mensah, who has impressed in two games so far. Mensah, who was overlooked in the preseason, has claimed the starting role with 547 passing yards and four touchdowns, including a 342-yard, two-touchdown game against Kansas State. His connection with former OU transfer Mario Williams could force Oklahoma’s defense to spread out, creating opportunities for Hughes to extend drives with his rushing ability.
Oklahoma dominated Temple in the opener but struggled to a 16-12 win over Houston, a team projected to finish near the bottom of the Big 12. Venables even suggested his team may have deserved to lose that game.
What should we expect in this matchup? Here’s what to watch for as Oklahoma and Tulane meet in Week 3, along with our updated prediction.
