On Saturday afternoon, the Oklahoma Sooners will have a tricky game on their hands when they face the pass-happy Tulsa Golden Hurricane. The Sooners blew out the Golden Hurricane at home in 2013 by the score of 51-20.

Oklahoma faced Louisiana Tech in their first game of the year and dominated from start to finish in what ended up being a 48-16 victory. They gained 436 yards on offense in the game, including 183 yards on the ground, and they held Louisiana Tech to only 245 yards.

Sooners quarterback three for 253 yards and one touchdown on the win, while running backs Keith Ford and Alex Ross had two rushing touchdowns apiece. Ross also returned one kick for 80 yards, but he wasn't able to score on the play.

Tulsa played in one of the better games of the opening week and eventually beat Tulane 38-31 in double-overtime. Tulsa needed a late touchdown in the fourth quarter to force overtime. Each team gained over 515 yards in the thriller, with Tulane rushing for 254 yards and the Golden Hurricane throwing for 438 in their win.

Sophomore quarterback Dane Evans led the Golden Hurricane by completing 31 passes for 438 yards and four touchdowns. Receiver Keevan Lucas was the star of the show, though, by catching 13 of Evans' passes for 233 yards and three touchdowns. Running back Tavarreon Dickerson gained 84 yards on 15 carries in the win.
