There’s no getting around it. Oklahoma football is off to a rocky beginning in a 2021 season filled with high expectations for the Sooners.
The No. 2-ranked Sooners were fortunate to pull out at win after nearly squandering a 23-point halftime lead over an inspired Tulane team to win by just five and avoid what would have been an upset of epic proportions.
This game looked a like lot Oklahoma began last season, especially the second game of the 2020 season at home against Kansas State.
