Corral the ground game
Quarterback Michael Pratt had great success last year. His 20 touchdown passes were more than any other true freshman in the country. But he threw for under 200 yards in six of Tulane’s 10 games last year. I say take away the running game and force the pressures on his throwing shoulder.
Pratt was active on the ground in 2020, rushing 115 times for eight touchdowns. Eliminating him from the equation allows the Sooners to focus on Cameron Carroll and Stephon Huderson. At 225 pounds, Carroll has the powerful frame needed to soften up OU’s interior defense. Huderson is Tulane’s speed back that accounted for more than 65 yards per game last season.
