seems to have one out of conference game that stands out amongst the rest as an opportunity to prove Tulane’s competitiveness on the national stage. This season that moment comes in the form of a week three matchup in Norman against theAt first glance, Tulane should be underdogs against the newest members of the Southeastern Conference. Oklahoma are bluebloods in the history of college football but today, that program is nowhere near what it once was.
After a 10-3 campaign last season, the Sooners saw their two starting offensive tackles drafted to the NFL. Tyler Guyton was drafted late in the first round by the Dallas Cowboys and Walter Rouse was selected to the Vikings with the first pick in the sixth round. Between Jacob Sexton, Geirean Hatchett, Troy Everett, Febechi Nwaiwu, and Jake Taylor/Spencer Brown, Oklahoma will be able to patch together an offensive line, but nothing like the offensive lines required to compete in the SEC. On the other side of the ball, Tulane will be attacking this unit with the likes of Patrick Jenkins and Adin Huntington, two of the best defensive lineman in the country.
