The Tulane Green Wave (1-1) will visit the #15 Oklahoma Sooners (2-0) this Saturday afternoon inside Memorial Stadium. The Tulane Green Wave are coming off a 34-27 loss against the Kansas State Wildcats. Quarterback Darian Mensah went 19-of-29 for 342 yards with two touchdowns and one interception in the game. Running back Makhi Hughes was able to produce well as he carried the ball 21 times for 128 yards and a touchdown.
The Oklahoma Sooners are coming off a close 16-12 home victory over the Houston Cougars. Running back Taylor Tatum struggled to get things going as he carried the ball 11 times for 33 yards. QB Jackson Arnold was 24-of-28 for 260 yards, throwing a touchdown and an interception.
Will the Tulane Green Wave come away with a road victory or will the Oklahoma Sooners come up with the win at home to go 3-0?

Key Stats
Tulane Green Wave
The Tulane Green Wave enter this matchup at 1-1, averaging 39.5 points per game this season. Running back Makhi Hughes leads the team in rushing with 35 carries for 187 yards (5.3 yards per carry) and two rushing touchdowns. QB Darian Mensah is averaging 273.5 passing yards per game and is completing 70.7% of his passes. He has thrown for four TDs to one INT to start the season.
Wide receiver Mario Williams is averaging 126.0 receiving yards per game with 10 total receptions. Defensively, Tulane has an interception, two sacks, and a forced fumble. It has been a major reason why they are only giving up 17.0 points per game entering Week 3.
Oklahoma Sooners
The Oklahoma Sooners are coming off a modest 16-12 home win against the Houston Cougars last week. The Sooners are 2-0 on the season, in large part due to the play of quarterback Jackson Arnold. Despite not dominating, he has completed 36 of 57 passes for 315 yards with six touchdowns and one interception thus far.
Running Back Taylor Tatum has six carries for 75 yards and a touchdown this season. Wide receiver Deion Burks has 15 receptions, 89 yards and three touchdowns.
Prediction
The Oklahoma Sooners are the heavy favorite in this matchup against the Tulane Green Wave at a Moneyline of -600. The Sooners have defensively allowed a combined 15 points in two games. Quarterback Jackson Arnold is having a great start to the NCAA season with throwing over 300 yards passing and six touchdowns.
The Green Wave played a ranked team last week and are heading into Oklahoma, ranked 15th in the country. It will be a lopsided matchup between these two teams this week. I expect the Sooners to blow out Green Wave.
Final Pick
Oklahoma Sooners -13.5 (-110)
