Tulane Having Best Season Since 1998

Tulane celebrated a four-game winning streak with a bye in Week 9. So, the Green Wave are both riding a wave of momentum and well-rested, heading into this conference clash.

Tulsa has been one of the most profitable teams in college football, with a stellar 7-1 record against the spread.

The Golden Hurricane consistently covering spreads is a byproduct of fielding one of the most well-rounded teams in the nation.

Tulane’s offense ranks 40th in scoring (31 PPG), while their defense ranks 17th in points allowed (19.9). In four of Tulane’s eight games, they held opponents to 10 points or less, including one outright shutout.

The offense, led by quarterback Michael Pratt, leads the offense with 1,718 yards. 12 touchdowns and three interceptions. He is neither a game-changer nor a liability but rather a solid choice for a team with such a strong defense.

With a trio of picks, Pratt rarely makes mistakes and hasn’t thrown an interception in the last three weeks. Meanwhile, Tyjae Spears leads the ground attack with 588 yards and nine touchdowns on 120 attempts.

Tulsa’s Failing Fundamentals

Don’t let Tulsa’s eight-point loss to No. 16 Ole Miss fool you into thinking it was a close game in any way. Tulsa entered the fourth quarter trailing 45-20 and got away with some garbage time points to avoid complete embarrassment.

David Brin leads the offense with 2,090 passing yards, 17 touchdowns, and seven interceptions. While his TD/INT ratio isn’t too tragic, we have to point out that six of those seven picks came within the last four weeks. That coincides with the time when NCAAF schedules ratchet up in difficulty.

The Golden Hurricane’s defense isn’t good enough to hang when things go off the rails. They rank 121st in opponent points per game and 88th in yards per game (406.9).

Tulsa also has a bad habit of doing many little things wrong. For example, they have a dreadful field goal conversion rate of 66.67%. Tulsa also ranks outside of the top 100 in turnover margin, giveaways, and interceptions were thrown. Additionally, the offensive line allows a QB sack in 11.36% of total snaps.
