Tennessee is headlined by young star quarterback Nico Iamaleava. Head coach Josh Heupel said the Tennessee QB has performed well, and he’ll need to keep it up against Oklahoma.
“Well at this level you’re going to have to throw into some tight windows throughout the course of the season,” Heupel said. “We played good opponents, got good scheme and got good players. So being open at this level of play, you’ve gotta be able to place a ball accurately. That comes from your fundamentals and your eyes and the decision-making on where you’re going. And you’ve gotta be on the same page with the wide receivers. At the end of the day, he’d like to have a couple of those back, but it wasn’t just him, either.

“At the end of the day, the quarterback’s always got to make it right, but wide receiver and quarterback can be on page, one of them — protection’s gotta be a little bit better but he can also find the soft spot in it and like I said, at the end of the day, he’s got to make it right.”
Heupel is a Tennessee star right now, but he’s an Oklahoma legend. He led the Sooners as a QB, winning a national title back in his playing days.

Tulane Kicker Somehow Boots Extra-Point Attempt Under the Crossbar vs. Oklahoma
To say Tulane’s special teams Saturday were an adventure is an understatement.
The Green Wave—still smarting from the offseason departure of top-tier kicker Valentino Ambrosio—trotted out Jacob Barnes and Ethan Head at the position against No. 15 Oklahoma Saturday.
Barnes missed a 50-yard field goal with 5:15 left in the first half. Head did something a little more visible.
Lining up for an extra point with Tulane trailing 21–6 and 19 seconds left in the half, Head sent the ball flying under the crossbar—nearly striking one of the Sooners’ mascot handlers. Announcers Dave Pasch and Dusty Dvoracek sounded bewildered by the kick.
Head, fortunately, recovered to hit an extra point with 4:45 remaining in the first quarter.
The West Chicago, Ill. native had previously only made the box score for a solo tackle in the Green Wave’s 52–0 victory over Southeastern Louisiana on Aug. 29. if he has designs on matching Ambrosio’s accomplishments, there’s no better place to start than successfully shaking off that kind of mistake.

Retired Oklahoma Catholic bishop Edward Slattery dies at 84
EDMOND, Okla. (AP) — Edward J. Slattery, a retired Catholic bishop who apologized for reinstating a priest who later admitted to sexually abusing an Oklahoma boy, has died, the Diocese of Tulsa and Eastern Oklahoma said Saturday. He was 84.
Slattery died at his home in the Tulsa area late Friday following “a series of debilitating strokes,” Vicar General Fr. Gary Kastl said in a statement from the diocese.
In 2002, amid a Catholic Church sex abuse scandal involving clergy, Slattery apologized for reinstating the Rev. Kenneth Lewis in 1995 following allegations against him. Slattery said at the time that when allegations emerged in 1994, Lewis was initially removed from the ministry but was reinstated after receiving psychiatric treatment.
“I have made mistakes along the way, and I feel terrible about it, but I do not feel guilty about it,” Slattery told the Tulsa World. “The mistakes are probably part of a culture of trying to protect the church.”
Lewis was later accused of sexually abusing a 13-year-old Oklahoma boy during a 2001 trip to Illinois. Lewis was removed from the ministry and resigned in 2007. He eventually pleaded guilty to one count of sex abuse.
In 2009, the Tulsa Diocese was found out of compliance with standards set by U.S. Catholic bishops following the clergy sexual abuse scandal, but by 2010 had implemented training and other abuse prevention programs.
Slattery was also among the bishops who objected to the University of Notre Dame’s invitation to then-President Barack Obama to speak at its 2009 graduation ceremony and to present him with an honorary doctorate.
Slattery was born in Chicago and was ordained a priest in 1966. He was ordained as bishop in 1994 and shortly afterward installed as bishop of the diocese in Tulsa.
He oversaw an expansion of Catholic Charities of Eastern Oklahoma and creation of a new campus for the charity in north Tulsa as well as creation of a tuition assistance fund for Catholic families.
He resigned in 2016 after reaching his 75th birthday, as required under church law.
Slattery is survived by four sisters and one brother.
