📝 Larry Lewis Game Preview -- Tulsa looking for road win at Arkansas State

Chris Harmon
If Tulsa's upcoming game against Arkansas State was a home game or neutral game, this would be the type of game that Tulsa fans, and most people for that matter, would think Tulsa should win, and perhaps, win convincingly. But also, strange things happen in road games at night. And Arkansas State is a decent team. And quite frankly, on the 50-50 calls made by the refs, don't count on a favorable ruling. Just ask its opponent last week, Central Arkansas.

Those factors alone make Arkansas State (1-0) a shocking 7.5 point favorite over Tulsa for the 6 p.m. game Saturday night in Jonesboro at Centennial Bank Stadium (30,382 seating capacity). So for Tulsa to pull off a road win in a state it hasn't won a football game in for 48 years, the Golden Hurricane is going to have to be sharp. Not necessarily perfect, but sharp.

He is one of 250 other non-blue blood coaches dealing with the same issues.

Last season North Texas, FAU, Charlotte, UAB, South Florida all saw moderate success in spite of it… Tulsa could have as well. We need fewer excuses and more results. These were the same kinds of excuses that kept Haith around too long and sunk us into the hole we’re in.

Not any of those teams lost the National Freshman of the year over a $700K NIL deal. You are right in that we need to be competitive NIL-wise with those programs. Haith never had to worry about the portal or NIL. He was always a step ahead of every problem.

Another sign their fans are dum dums. They keep saying they're not worried about scoring because our defense gave up 28....BUT, wrong again.

We gave up one long TD then literally nothing else
Another blocked kick returned
A muffed punt on our own 10 or so that put the defense in a bad spot
Late TD against backups.

Lots of lols over there.

They are very convinced that Central Arkansas is better than Tulsa

Just a one year extension on a 6 year contract with 4 years left I suspect. Some would not call that much of an extension. But he could be the hardest working coach we have had in a long time and the players seem to love playing for him. (Compare that to Memphis) Just his luck of the draw to be hired the year the portal and NIL crippled the recruiting and retention efforts of teams like Tulsa.

I'm not sure Konkol will ever be more than a good coach but in every other way he's a perfect fit. After we gave Wojick a 20 year extension based on nothing, I guess I have low standards for extensions. I'd rather extend a so so coach who's a good guy and spreads fun and happiness than a so so coach who's a d bag.

And no, I will never get over the Wojick extension, no matter how long I live.
