And when the cornerstone of those returnees is coming off a 2,094-yard, 21-touchdown season, you’re probably in very good shape. When you boast nine returning offensive starters, you’re probably in good shape. He doesn’t run much, so he isn’t a solid DFS play Saturday, but Keylon Stokes is worth a look after hauling in 62 passes for a team-leading 1,049 yards and six touchdowns with Tulsa last season. That level of turnover puts even more pressure on a Tulsa offense led by Zach Smith, who threw for nearly 3,300 yards with 19 touchdowns and nine interceptions a season ago. For the time being, there’s probably a good chance that whatever number you see will be too low – and that’s thanks largely to a Tulsa defense that allowed 31.3 points per game last season and will be without seven of its top 10 tacklers from 2019. It will be interesting to see how oddsmakers treat the totals for Golden Hurricane games in 2020.
The total of 61 has jumped to as high as 66.5. The Cowboys kicked things off as hefty 20.5-point favorites, but you’ll find only -22 and -22.5 at the majority of sportsbooks. Tulsa Golden Hurricane vs Oklahoma State Cowboys
