The Oklahoma Sooners have won all six meetings against the Tulsa Golden Hurricane under Bob Stoops<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Tulsa has split its first two games of the 2013 college football season, as it comes off a 30-27 victory over the Colorado State Rams as 13.5-point home favorites last Saturday, while going OVER the betting total of 55.\u00a0 The Golden Hurricane have the smallest enrollment among FBS schools, while they go against a program that has 31,097 students.\u00a0 The team\u2019s last win over a Top 25 team was against No. 24 Hawaii in the 2010 Sheraton Hawaii Bowl.\u00a0 Tulsa is 1-3 ATS versus Big 12 Conference opponents the last two-plus seasons, with no clear edge in terms of the betting total (2-2 Over\/Under).<\/p>\n

The Golden Hurricane have 29 players that are either freshmen or sophomores on their current 44-man two-deep depth chart, which can\u2019t be ignored when making your college football predictions in Week 3.\u00a0 Tulsa had seven new starters on the defensive unit to open the season, including four players on the line that made their first-ever starts.\u00a0 Offensively, the program is led by a two-headed monster at running back, with Ja\u2019Terian Douglas and Trey Watts.\u00a0 They entered this as the backfield duo to put up the second-most rushing and receiving yards that returned to the gridiron this season.<\/p>\n

Oklahoma has won seven straight regular season games dating back to 2012, while it looks to improve to 7-0 in this series under head coach Bob Stoops\u2014winning the previous six by an average margin of 30 points.\u00a0 The Sooners have dominated those meetings on the ground\u2014outrushing the Golden Hurricane by an average of 250.7 to 89.0 yards.\u00a0 Keep an eye on the halftime score, as Saturday\u2019s host has won 35 consecutive games when going into the break with a lead.\u00a0 Oklahoma is 6-8 ATS at home the last two-plus seasons, with the UNDER going 7-6-1 in that situation.<\/p>\n

The Sooners lead the Big 12 in averaging 310.5 rushing yards per game, with running back Brennan Clay ranking second amongst league members in gaining 106.5 yards on the ground per contest.\u00a0 Oklahoma is the only 2-0 FBS team that is averaging over 300 rushing yards and allowing 7.0 points per game or less after facing two FBS opponents in the first two games.<\/p>\n

Sports bettors will likely back the Sooners due to their 21-10 ATS mark after accumulating 200 yards rushing in their previous game.<\/p>\n
