Tramel: BYU-Navy debacle shows why OSU-Tulsa was postponed

When the OSU-Tulsa football postponement news broke Monday night, it was halftime of the Brigham Young-Navy game. BYU led 31-0 in a game not as close as the score indicated.

Those two events are connected in spirit.

OSU-Tulsa was pushed back a week, to Sept. 19, after the Golden Hurricane requested relief. Due to coronavirus issues, TU paused practice Aug. 17-26 and got in only seven of 17 practices allowed in preseason camp.

The game was moved not because COVID-19 necessarily runs rampant around the TU campus. The game was moved because the Golden Hurricane literally was not ready to play Saturday in Stillwater against a top-15 team.
