Oklahoma tries to keep rolling Friday at Tulsa

Sep 21, 2007 - 10:44 AM No. 4 Oklahoma (3-0) at Tulsa (2-0) 8:00 pm EDT

TULSA, Oklahoma (Ticker) -- The 2007 season could not be off to a better start for Sam Bradford and Oklahoma.

Bradford and the fourth-ranked Sooners look for a fourth straight dominant performance when they visit intrastate foe Tulsa on Friday.

Oklahoma crushed Utah State last week, 54-3, to improve to 3-0 on the campaign. Bradford passed for 255 yards and three touchdowns for the Sooners, who lead the nation in scoring (61.33 points per game).

A redshirt freshman, Bradford has thrown 11 touchdowns and just one interception this season for Oklahoma, which ranks third in total offense (565.33 yards) and second in total defense (179.67). Bradford is third in passing efficiency (219.5).

Tulsa is coming off a wild 55-47 win over BYU in which senior signal-caller Paul Smith threw for a personal-best 454 yards and five TDs.

In their first season under Todd Graham, who replaced new Louisville coach Steve Kragthorpe, the Golden Hurricane won despite surrendering nearly 700 yards to the Cougars, including a program-worst 526 passing yards.

The teams last met in 2005, when the Sooners - coming off a season-opening loss to TCU - downed Tulsa, 31-15. The Golden Hurricane last beat the Sooners in 1996.
