Yet another noon game on the road. Hopefully we don't sleep walk this one but it's in the Central time Zone at 11:00am local.
I do not know the status of Tulane QB Michael Pratt, who is likely in concussion protocol after a really nasty hit this past Thursday night. The Green Wave have gone backwards this year at 1-6 with a current 5 game losing streak. Pratt was pretty effective at QB with the exception of his tendency to get sacked a lot (17). I've only seen them play once this year so I'm not sure if that's on him or the OL. Rushing is mostly Cameron Carroll's job but they do get multiple backs in the game. The receiving corps is interesting. The TE Tyrick James leds them in yards but lots of different players at every position have caught balls for them this season. They have 8 guys with double digits catches on the season. Whether that will be effective against our defense remains to be seen and the success of it for Tulane will probably depend on which QB plays in the game for them. Kicking is a problem for Tulane. They are 2/5 on FG attempts this season and have tried 3 kickers without much success outside of extra points.
Bearcat defense needs to be disciplined again this week. The Tulane offense features a lot of motion and misdirection. I think we'll come home with a victory again on this one but like this past weekend it might be less dominant than we'd like.
