It’s strange that a team that is ranked No. 4 in the nation and is undefeated is being labeled as an underachiever but that is the case for Oklahoma following a hard-fought 23-16 over unranked Nebraska Saturday in Norman.

TU/Ohio State game is close

Going into the game, Ohio State was a 25.5-point favorite over the University of Tulsa, however, the No. 9 Buckeyes certainly didn’t look like a Top-10 team early on, as OSU beat Tulsa, 41-20, Saturday in Columbus, Ohio.
