Tulsa and Oklahoma didn't play each other last year, they played in 2005, that year Brett Rohmar started for Oklahoma. That was early on in the season, Rohmar wasn't very effective and Oklahoma's D was young.
That same team has matured on defense and what is arguably the best defense in the Big 12. Reggie Smith is a shut down CB. Oklahoma's defense will be very good this year. Their offensive line is really good, they are averaging nearly 6 yds a carry netting 724 yds a game. Their passing attack has just been effective with Sam Bradford starting terrific for them. Almost 80% completion rate.
I am not an Oklahoma fan, Nebraska fan actually and follow a lot of the Big 12.
I like Oklahoma here at 23.
GL to everyones bet
Great insight there! With you on OU!

OU THAT mich better than BYU? Really? Maybe. I doubt it. Indeed, at the close of last season, BYU was rated ahead of OU in most power ratings. Now, three games in - three games in which BYU has out-statted its opponants, while OU has beaten up on two of the worst programs in D-1 - that's turned around an awful lot.
There are some other reasons I don't love Tulsa here, but I think the idea that OU represents something just worlds different from the team Tulsa just beat is a little off base.
In a word YES!!!
OU is bigger and faster than BYU on both sides of the ball. They are a step up from everyone else Tulsa will play all year.
IN A WORD BOISE..... I am pretty sure OU was bigger and stronger than boise last year and the whole nation remebers that game.
