Best quarterback?
The first volleys have been fired in the OU-Tulsa debate over who has the better quarterback in this game. The first was fired by Tulsa defensive back Roy Roberts. Roberts stepped in front of Malcolm Kelly and intercepted, returning the ball 20 yards to the Tulsa 37-yard line. The second volley was fired by TU quarterback Paul Smith, who directed the Golden Hurricane on a seven-play touchdown drive. Smith completed 3-of-3 passes on the drive, for 50 yards. Smith also scrambled twice for eight yards.
The Bradford/Smith debate heated up this week, with OU fans touting Bradford’s numbers. But Smith obviously is the better quarterback. A savvy senior, who has played a bunch of big games, including a stirring performance two years ago at Owen Field. Bradford has been superb, but when a quarterbac is not rushed, they often can look sensational.
I don’t expect Tulsa to win this game or even take it to the fourth quarter. But I also don’t expect Bradford to make the case that he’s the better quarterback.
