It was a tale of two halves in the No. 15 Sooner’s 31-19 win over Tulane on Saturday. 

First half: The offense was on track. The problems experienced in the first two games this season were gone (or perhaps hidden, due to masterful play calling by OC Seth Littrell). 

OU was up 21-6 at the half.

Second half: Offensive line failures reared their ugly head, causing a pressured QB Jackson Arnold making his biggest sophomoric mistake of the season – a pick six that squandered a then 24-13 lead and made for an uncomfortable fourth quarter for the Sooner faithful.

Tulane was expected to be tough, given their narrow 34-27 loss to a strong then No. 17 Kansas State the week before.  And we remember the close call with Tulane in 2021 (No. 2 Oklahoma won 40-35).

But, maybe we should have known all would end well. After all, the spectator contestant in the Chik-fil-a contest actually made the field goal.
