JONESBORO -- At a first look, Tulsa's defense is a wacky one.
It's a scheme Arkansas State's offense has never seen. It's something the Golden Hurricane unveiled at an odd time.
There's mystery behind the Golden Hurricane's defensive madness.
First, what is it?
Second, why did Tulsa ditch a traditional four-down linemen defensive look to morph into a disguise-laden, three-down linemen set roughly 30 plays into Tulsa's season-opening victory against Central Arkansas?
Because of the defense's surprises?
Because the scheme is hard to read and tougher to understand?
Apparently, yes and yes.
