Key Defensive Players vs Tulsa

Who needs to step up to shut down the powerful Tulsa offense?

Going into Week 3 against Tulsa, the Oklahoma Sooners defense is facing a different challenge. Akron was absolutely pathetic offensively, while Tennessee certainly didn’t air it out. The Golden Hurricane, however, have the fourth best passing offense in the country right now. While nobody is giving Tulsa a chance to knock off the Sooners, if they can force a few mistakes by Oklahoma offense and turn it into a shootout, the American Conference leaders might stand a chance. In order for that not to happen, Oklahoma needs a few players to step up defensively.
