Tulane: Instant Analysis

Oklahoma gets set to take on Tulane in a pay-per-view event and Carey Murdock is high atop the Memorial Stadium pressbox with his analysis of all the action.

The Sooners will be without Will Johnson and Robert Barnes, meaning Kahlil Haughton will get the start at free safety tonight.

* Mark Andrews was dressed out and going through pregame warmups and appears ready to go. Ben Powers also went through pregame warmups as well and it appears he will give it a go with a heavily taped right ankle.
