Tulsa 10/1 7:00 ESPNU

If there ever was a trap game for 2022 it is next week. Playing Tulsa on their home field will be the toughest AAC game left for the year. Scares me to death.

They may be too good to be considered a trap game. They deserve our respect and should get our utmost attention. They honestly could have beaten us last year.

I am curious if anyone has an injury update going into this game. I must have missed something but what happened to Loren Metz? Haven't seen him for 2 weeks. He is a really good run blocker. Losing our all conference center and line play caller has also really been evident.

Metz was hurt in training camp although I don't recall what the injury was or if they ever said.

I'm worried about the status of Arquon Bush in this game becuase Keylon Stokes is hard to stop on a good day. Davis Brin has 1300 yards passing on the season and almost half are to Stokes. We probably won't find out anything until Tuesday's weekly presser unless it got mentioned in post game yesterday

[Lobot]

Arquon Bush is questionable for this game. Might play. Fickell said it’s not a long term or season ending injury

Keith Jenkins at the Enquirer mentioned that we have not played at Tulsa since 2016. I'm assuming none of the staff or players have ever been there.

Stats:

https://www.espn.com/college-footbal...stats/_/id/202

We're favored at -9.5

ESPN give us a about a 75% to win.

Davis Brin who is 4th in the country in passing is 50/50 for the game. He was injured in the 2Q last week.

I doubt Luke, the staff, or the players are overlooking Tulsa. Their QB is pretty good and they play everyone tough. Very well coached/disciplined.

Keith Jenkins at the Enquirer mentioned that we have not played at Tulsa since 2016. I'm assuming none of the staff or players have ever been there.

That might play into our favor. Luke and these players play with confidence and no reason to doubt ourselves in Tulsa.

If we beat Tulsa, we run the table. This game scares me BIGTIME!

Something I noticed when looking for that first Davis Brin article, Tulsa is buried on the Tulsa World sports page. I had to go 4 links deep on the site find anything about Tulsa football. Everything is OU and OK St. and Dallas Cowboys.

The other weird thing is theTU website doesn't even mention their athletics program, like at all. I Couldn't even find a link to the athletics site there.

Apparently it's Tulsa Oktoberfest. Break out the Lederhosen.

I did however find this article today. Brin is still an unknown to the media which tells me he will probably play and we're doing the gamesmanship thing. (~$)

^^It is nice to see that their beat writer still picks UC to win. Most of the time, the home boys give their team a slight edge.

Fickell should share this with his team. I know how he is great at getting guys mentally prepared.

Nasty rumor going that Dish network is dropping ESPN at 12:00 in some sort of carriage dispute. Anyone out there have Dish that can verify that?

update: this is true and it happened at 2:00am this morning. If you have Dish and want to watch games today you’re SOL. Head for a bar.

[coach]

Nobody watches the Pac 12 or MW anyways. lol
