College football is getting the same way. Offenses are so unorthodox these days, everybody's doing it. And Tulsa is doing offense very, very well.

Which explains why Oklahoma's 62-21 rout of Tulsa on Friday night — a 41-point verdict on the road, against a team at least in the upper half of OU's 2007 foes — brought relief as much as jubilation.

"Glad to get that behind us,” OU defensive backs coach Bobby Jack Wright said of chasing TU's new-fangled offense and slippery quarterback Paul Smith. "Puts a lot more stress on your defense. I was really glad to get tested.”

North Texas didn't do it. Miami didn't do it. Utah State didn't do it. But Tulsa and coordinator Gus Malzahn's offense, which runs players in motion from every angle and tosses passes from every direction, most definitely tested the Sooners.

And OU passed. Eventually.

"I liked the way it went,” Bob Stoops said.
