Yeah - Dak has taken me straight out of our last 2 playoff matchups. Last year he was responsible for 3 turnovers and did his standard 'take way more sacks than his pressure rate should suggest' thing while throwing almost exclusively underneath and still only completing a hair over 50% of his passes.
Maybe Fitzmagic can do a better job of it. The defense has stood tall several times this year even if they can't seem to get as much pressure as I'd like.
I'd say this game opens with Tulsa as 7.5 pt favorites. We have a puncher's chance with the defense occasionally strangling strong offenses (a HELL of a job against Austin; that's a tough squad), but this team doesn't have the firepower to hang if the D doesn't show.
This 'rivalry' is starting to get a little one-sided. Benton needs to get a W on the ledger soon before this becomes a grudge match in name only. As it stands, they're well on their way to being Tulsa's little brother.
