3 keys for the Oklahoma Sooners offense to come away satisfied vs. Tulsa

What do the Oklahoma Sooners need to do offensively to not simply get a win but come away satisfied with their performance agains the Tulsa Golden Hurricane?

At least offensively, Oklahoma’s path to victory on Saturday is reasonably straightforward. The obvious things are executing situationally, dominating the line of scrimmage, and not turning the ball over.

Oklahoma has the talent advantage. That should be enough as long as they execute.

However, things aren’t that simple because Oklahoma isn’t just trying to scrape by. This is an opportunity for them to continue to refine themselves as an offensive unit so that they are firing on all cylinders in preparation for the Big 12 portion of their schedule.

Offensively, if they play like they did against SMU, the Sooners may have some problems on their hand that wouldn’t bode well for the remainder of their season.

With that in mind, let’s look at the three offensive keys to a Sooners victory in which Oklahoma fans and the offensive unit can walk away feeling like they accomplished something.

Pair of Colorado football transfers quickly find new homes

Trustin Oliver and Jayden Simon have found new homes

It didn’t take long for two recent Colorado football transfers to land on their feet.

Redshirt defensive lineman Jayden Simon, who announced his decision to transfer on Dec. 6, took to Twitter on Sunday to announce that he’s continuing his college career at Tulsa. Simon played sparingly for the Buffaloes this season and recorded four tackles.

Tulsa finished its regular season 6-6 and now awaits Old Dominion in the Myrtle Beach Bowl.

Another Buffalo that saw limited playing time this season was safety Trustin Oliver. Colorado originally signed Oliver in 2019, but he didn’t meet academic requirements and opted to play at the junior college level. Following a COVID-19 impacted JUCO career, Oliver rejoined the Buffs in the spring of 2021. But on Nov. 30, he decided to enter the transfer portal.

The 6-foot-4 versatile defensive back announced on Saturday that he signed with Central Arkansas, which finished 5-6 this season. Oliver will now get a chance to play at one of the most unique fields in college football.
