Tulsa proves potent

Tulsa is not going to win this game. OU leads 42-21 with 5:50 left in the third quarter and will win going away. But Tulsa has proved its worth. The Hurricane has an excellent offense. Almost 400 yards of offense right now. Paul Smith is a salty quarterback; I don’t know how he plays against anyone else, but I’ve now seen him live twice, against OU two years ago and again tonight, and he’s a wonderful player. Ranks with Chase Daniel as the best quarterbacks OU will face this year; yes, better than Graham Harrrell or Colt McCoy. Tulsa’s non-conference success — playing the Sooners tough and beating Brigham Young — positions TU as the favorite to win Conference USA.
