The official countdown can begin, with just one week until college football begins, but more important Tulsa football begins!! 
I'm going to be more interested in how our defense plays than anything else in this first game. Coach K has been recruiting bigger and faster players and a lot of those players will be on the field next week!! Normally everyone expects the difference between Minn. and Tulsa to show up in the 2nd half when the bigger Minn team wears down the smaller Tulsa team and then runs away with the game, especially in the 4th quarter. It sounds like we have a little depth so we shouldn't be worn out completely in the 4th quarter but it's one thing I'll be looking for!!! If we don't wear out, I expect a pretty good game and not that high scoring, 30-20, unfortunately the 30 is for Minn. :frown:
