Tulane nearly shocked the college football world a week ago.
The Green Wave were leading Kansas State by a touchdown in the fourth quarter. But K-State tied it up, went ahead on a 60-yard fumble return for a touchdown, and barely held onto a victory.
But the good news for the Green Wave is they have another chance at a Group of Five-Power Four upset.
Tulane goes on the road for Week 3 to face Oklahoma, which is ranked 15th in the AP Top 25.

Tulane vs. Oklahoma Prediction
I predict Tulane will win and cover the spread at +13.5. I also project the game will go Over 47.5 total points.
I think this game is setting up nicely for the Green Wave. They just proved a week ago that they can keep up against a top-notch team from a power conference. And Oklahoma showed some weaknesses in Week 2.
The Sooners won at home 16-12 against Houston, a team that was beaten by a G5 team in UNLV during Week 1. Oklahoma gained just 249 yards of offense in that clash.
I don’t think the Sooners can afford to have that poor of an outing against the Green Wave. Tulane’s offense, led by quarterback Darian Mensah and running back Makhi Hughes, is explosive. I think the Green Wave can continue to put up points in Week 3.
I also like what I’ve seen from Tulane’s defense. So if the Green Wave can fix some of the mistakes from last week, I’m confident Tulane will keep this game close at the very least.
