The Golden Hurricast Ryan Token & Matt Rechtien

Tulsa got handed a tough loss at home from the #19 Oklahoma Sooners to move to 1-2 this season. But the the rest of the season looks much more manageable. To recap the game we talk about the QB situation (again), whether or not the defense is bad (again), and some key pieces missing in action.

Afterwards we bring back Eddie Carifio (@DDCEddieCarifio), Sports Editor from the DeKalb Daily Chronicle (@Daily_Chronicle) to break down the matchup with the Huskies.

Tulsa fell hard to #8 Washington 48-10 despite a solid effort from 3rd string QB Roman Fuller. To recap that game, we discuss the current QB situation, whether or not the defense is actually bad, and the returns of Keuan Parker and Braylin Presley before awarding our players of the game.



Following that, we turn our attention toward the #19 Oklahoma Sooners. OU comes to (sold out) Chapman Stadium for the first time since 2014 in a huge game for TU. To help us break down the Sooners, we welcome Kegan Reneau from The Franchise and RPM Data.



We get into some great stuff with Kegan, including his thoughts on Washington's receivers vs OU's receivers, the Sooners' vastly improved defense, Dillon Gabriel, the Jeff Lebby/Art Briles situation, and his thoughts on how this game goes.



After wrapping up the OU preview, we take a quick look around the conference in what was a pretty terrible week 2 for the AAC and close things down with a request for feedback.



If you have audio quality issues, specifically on Spotify, Matt's recommendation is to go into Spotify's settings and disable the "Audio Normalization" setting in Settings -> Playback.
