TU Offense will March On

Gus Malzahn was a good offensive coordinator at Tulsa but he's not the only guy that has figured out college football offense in the past couple of years.
There is an explosion of offense, especially in our region, and there is no shortage of guys who know how to spread it around in the no-huddle offense.
TU coach Todd Graham is convinced Herb Hand will take over the offense and there will be no letdown.
We would agree.
There's no reason to panic at Tulsa. Oklahoma and Oklahoma State lost offensive coordinators last year and actually got better on offense this year.
Conference USA is an offensive league and that is not going to change. Tulsa will have to be good on offense to remain competitive at the top of the league.
The Golden Hurricane has earned a reputation for offense that dates back more than five decades.
We don't expect that to change with the loss of one assistant coach.

Hope that TU's offense will be at least as good and maybe even better
than the last two years
Still, too bad that TU couldn't have offeredenough to keep Gus! I thinkwith Bama and Saban, Auburn will be hard pressed regardless who the coaches are! I think Gus has gottenh im over his head at Auburn and should have stayed at TU
Money isn't everything-look at Steve K. at Loserville! Nothing bu headaches and their fans aren't too happy with his record in 2006&2007!

Hope all the recruits who have given verbals sign with TU in Feb.! It seems TU needs to get some stud defensive recruits!!!!

I guess we're counting Sumlin as an offensive coordinator even though he had co in front of his name?
