Oklahoma Sooners Football: Sloppy malaise sets in again in win over Tulane

Watching the Tulane Green Wave storm back in a near-upset of the Oklahoma Sooners on Saturday brought back familiar feelings for OU fans.

OU went into the halftime break with a 37-14 lead, on the verge of cruising to an easy win. About 28 minutes of game time later, Tulane had the ball near midfield with a chance to take the lead. The Sooners pulled out a 40-35 victory, but it seemed eerily reminiscent of a slew of performances from 2020.

For example, OU led Kansas State by three touchdowns in the third quarter of their game last year; the Sooners ended up on the losing end of a 38-35 final.
