Tulane Faces Second Chance Against Power Conference Opponent

The Tulane Green Wave find themselves with a record of 1-1 going into Saturday's Tulane vs Oklahoma matchup from Norman. The Green Wave won their season opener over Southeastern Louisiana out of the FCS before losing at home to Kansas State last week by a score of 34-27. Here, Tulane gets another chance against a power conference opponent and they will look to deliver a win on the road over Oklahoma to give them some confidence with conference play just around the corner.

Tulane might have won against Kansas State had they not turned the ball over twice, while failing to force a turnover from the Wildcats. The Green Wave outgained K-State on offense by nearly 100 yards in that game, with those turnovers limiting their ability to turn those yards into points. Here, the Green Wave must take better care of the ball to give themselves a better chance to win.

Oklahoma Looks For Better Offensive Showing On Saturday

The Oklahoma Sooners are off to a 2-0 start this season, though their most recent win was anything but pretty. After beating Temple 51-3 in their season opener, the Sooners won at home over Houston by a score of 16-12. Here, Oklahoma will look for a third straight win to kick off their season, but they know that they will need to be better on the offensive side of the ball if they want to get that win.

It was a tale of two halves for Oklahoma on the offensive side of the ball against Houston last week. Jackson Arnold had two touchdown passes for the Sooners in the first half of that game but didn't have one in the second half. This week, Arnold and the Oklahoma offense will look to put together a more comprehensive performance in order to avoid an upset loss that would put a stain on their record so early in the year.

Tulane vs Oklahoma Best Bet

We do think that the home team will come away with the win in this Tulane vs Oklahoma matchup from Norman. But it will be Tulane who covers the number as a double-digit underdog against their SEC opponents in this contest. The Green Wave are more than capable offensively of putting up some points to keep this one entertaining into the fourth quarter, which we expect them to do in what should be another tightly contested win for Oklahoma.
