"I saw this and caught myself saying out loud saying, "Why?!" Because Tulsa lost 45-10 last year? Different team. Oklahoma State was up just 17-7 at the half against UT Martin and then got bulldozed by Oregon. This is not just a slow start. The concerns were there all summer: overhauled coaching staff, heavy reliance on transfers, no proven quarterback and an offensive line without a single returning starter."
"Those problems don't get fixed in two games, and so far the results line up. The run game is stuck at 3.2 yards per carry and the passing attack has thrown more interceptions than touchdowns. Tulsa is not flashy, but they're functional with a ground game that already has 19 runs of 10 yards or more. And the sneaky part is that Tulsa has the second best pass rush grade by PFF even with only eight sacks in three games."
Three Week 4 college football bets are highlighted, led by Tulsa +13.5 and an UNDER 45.5 selection. Oklahoma State shows systemic issues: an overhauled coaching staff, heavy transfer reliance, no proven quarterback and an offensive line with no returning starters, resulting in a 3.2 yards-per-carry run game and more interceptions than touchdown passes. Tulsa features a functional ground attack with 19 runs of 10+ yards and the second-best PFF pass-rush grade despite just eight sacks in three games, creating a trench edge and upset potential. The UNDER targets a Miami-Rutgers game influenced by pace and red-zone execution.
