TRICKY COUGARS
Video: BYU pulls off fake spike to beat Tulsa
The BYU Cougars took on the Tulsa Golden Hurricanes in the Bell Helicopter Bowl. The final play of the game came down to the BYU Quarterback doing his best Dan Marino impression and fake spiking the ball and throwing it to an open Wide Receiver.
Rarely do you see this play run and actually work. Tulsa, you gotta be ready for plays like this man.

DALLAS Tulsa, which has one of the worst defenses against the pass in the country, was able to mask that deficiency throughout most of the Bell Helicopter Armed Forces Bowl Friday afternoon.

Tulsa is embracing the hipster helmet
At this point, the masterminds leading the “let’s make a crazy helmet” are bored and really don’t care much about appearance at all. Either that or they’re embracing style, and you wouldn’t really know much about that, would you? (Their words not mine) The folks at Tulsa showed off the helmet above, which they will [...]

Familiar foes Tulsa, UCF prep for latest matchup
Central Florida and Tulsa took very different paths through the month of October.
For the Knights (4-4, 2-2 Conference USA), it was a month spent mostly in quicksand. They dropped back-to-back conference games, including a stunning setback to UAB, and in the process left their hopes of repeating as East Division champions severely fractured.

It’s an interesting strategy. Make your helmets so confusing that your opponents either have a seizure or simply walk to the sideline because you’re giving them a headache.
