Tulsa finished 7-6 last year. Last week, they lost a heartbreaker in two overtimes due to a missed FG to end the game. The Golden Hurricane were favored by 6 1/2 points, but they blew a 34-24 fourth-quarter lead that was quickly erased. QB Davis Brin was still excellent in the loss, though, tallying 460 yards through the air and three passing TDs.

His completion rate was less than ideal, but Tulsa leaned on Brin heavily as the run game was non-existent. Tulsa did have a solid ground attack in 2021, but last week, they accumulated just 61 rushing yards. Expect them to try and balance out the pass and run a bit more as they embark on their home opener.

Northern Illinois was at 9-5 to end 2021. They picked up a seven-point victory last week, despite being tabbed as 35-point favorites. The Huskies will take the win, even though they let an inferior Eastern Illinois team stage a comeback that fell just short.

Running backs Harrison Waylee and Antario Brown stood out in the win, combining for 153 yards and two scores. They did control the game for the most part, but the defense will be disappointed to have given up 441 total yards. Look for them to try and put forth a more complete effort as they travel to Oklahoma.
