Cougar defense looks to recover in Tulsa matchup

The football team will try to get their season back on track Saturday night in an American Athletic Conference matchup against the University of Tulsa Golden Hurricane at TDECU Stadium.

Tulsa has a high-powered offense that has had no trouble scoring this season. The team’s 39.4 points per game ranks 25th best in the nation while 228.4 rushing yards per game put them at 27th.

The Cougars will have their hands full trying to stop a Tulsa offensive attack that is similar to their own. Tulsa uses a run-first spread offense that is difficult for even the most prepared defenses to stop.
