Know the foe: Tulsa Golden Hurricane to know for Oklahoma’s first road trip of the season

Oklahoma is taking on nearby Tulsa this week and here are three Golden Hurricane to know ahead of Saturday’s contest.

Oklahoma enters its third game of the 2023 season 2-0 ahead of their final nonconference game. Oklahoma makes the trip to Tulsa to take on the Golden Hurricane led by former Sooners offensive coordinator Kevin Wilson.

Wilson was the offensive coordinator for the Sooners from 2002-2010. There is a healthy bit of respect between Brent Venables and Kevin Wilson. Both worked under Bob Stoops as coordinators for many years. Kevin Wilson left his post as Ohio State’s offensive coordinator last offseason to take over the Tulsa program.

His program is in the process of renovation, but Wilson has done an excellent job getting them ready to go. The team is 1-1 after a win against Arkansas-Pine Bluff in the opener. They then took a trip out west to Washington, resulting in a 43-10 loss.

On Saturday, Tulsa will be fired up to play the state’s most prominent football program, the Oklahoma Sooners.

Oklahoma should win this game, but that doesn’t mean they should take their opponents lightly.

To get ready for Oklahoma vs. Tulsa, here are three Golden Hurricane to know ahead of Saturday’s contest.

Bixby breaks Oklahoma high school football record with 49 wins in a row

Bixby High School broke the Oklahoma state record for most consecutive wins and took home its fourth championship in a row.

Bixby (Okla.) High School’s 63-14 victory over Deer Creek High School (Edmond, Okla.) in the state championship gave them their fourth title in a row. It was their seventh in the last eight years.

It also set a state record for number of wins in a row by an 11-man football team.

The championship was Bixby’s 49th consecutive victory, breaking a record set by Wagoner (Okla.) High School from 2014-17, according to Tulsa World.

The Spartans did not allow more than 20 points in any game this season. They scored more than 40 points in every game except one. They have not lost since Aug. 24, 2018, extending their win streak to three years and three months.

Three-star Oklahoma State commit Braylin Presley was dominant as he started the game with a trick-play, 76-yard passing touchdown, ran for a 94-yard score that gave him the school rushing yards record, and finished the game with four total touchdowns.

Preston Solomon, who was the recipient of the 76-yard trick play touchdown, finished the game with 141 receiving yards and three touchdowns. The defense had four interceptions.

Bixby is moving up to the 6AI division next season, according to Tulsa World. They’ll test themselves against the new competition as they work to extend their winning streak — and perhaps win a fifth straight championship.
