Rallies his team from 17-0 down by firing for three touchdown passes and running for one in a 31-24 overtime victory at Tennessee. This week should be another week for the Sooners to dazzle as they welcome visiting Tulsa, who is also undefeated on the season. Evans has a multitude of weapons to hand and throw the ball to, but the Sooners fast and disruptive front will likely be too much to handle. At the 1, the Sooners couldn’t punch it in but took a 3-0 lead.

Oklahoma finished with 773 yards, Tulsa had 603. Quarterback Dane Evans is fourth in the nation in passing yards at 372.5 yards per game. The Sooners would like to get their two prime running backs going in the ground, and this could be the game that Samaje Perine and Joe Mixon begin to feel their oats.
Baylor had 544 yards of total offense under offensive coordinator Philip Montgomery in the Bears’ 2014 win over OU. The Bears rushed for a combined 280 yards and three scores; Muhammad racked up 164 yards on 10 carries, and Enwere notched 73 yards and two touchdowns on 16 attempts. Montgomery and company are averaging a whopping 609 yards per game, which now ranks sixth in the country-50 spots ahead of the Sooners. He now leads the Sooners with 10 receptions for 142 yards and 2 TDs.
Tulsa’s offensive game plan has been tremendous so far, but none of that success would be possible if it didn’t have the playmakers to get the job done.
The Golden Hurricane rolled the dice on fourth-and-2 from their own 48, but OU stopped Zack Langer for a 1-yard gain with 3:22 left.
Mongomery’s Baylor offenses led the nation in total offense and scoring offense the past two years.
One of the biggest knocks against Mayfield before this season was that his gunslinger mentality had a tendency to put his team in precarious situations.
