The Tulane Green Wave and the Oklahoma Sooners will face off at noon ET Sept. 4 at Benson Field at Yulman Stadium to kick off their 2021 seasons. Tulane struggled last year, ending up 6-6. On the other hand, after a 9-2 record last season and a win in the Cotton Bowl, Oklahoma is coming in with an eye to spark another quality season.
A pair of last-season defensive stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: The Green Wave ranked second worst in the nation with respect to passing touchdowns allowed last season, where the team gave up 27. Oklahoma's defense has more to brag about, as they they were fourth best in the nation in sacks, finishing the 2020 season with 37.
The Tulane sideline is surely aware that they're the underdogs in this one. We'll soon see whether they can make the experts look bad.
