3. Contain the QB
Tulsa has three quarterbacks, and while Braylan Braxton would be the starter if healthy, all three present problems with their feet if allowed to escape the pocket.
Mobile quarterbacks have been a thorn in Oklahoma’s side for a few years.
Against Washington, Tulsa tried to rollout quarterback Roman Fuller to the right, and Washington had a basic cornerback blitz from the backside called. It worked to perfection due to the marriage of good coverage, making Fuller hesitate long enough for the blitzer to get home for a sack on third down.
It’ll be up to Ted Roof and Brent Venables to be aware of the athleticism of these quarterbacks regardless of who lines up under center for Tulsa.
