Tulsa 11/6 3:30 ESPN2

[Lobot]

Homecoming. College GameDay's coming. Should be a fun weekend for those who are able to make it. Wear Red and have fun. Ignore the CFP mess and cheer on the Cats.

Tulsa's led by Davis Brin at QB. Brin has more yards up than Desmond RIdder this season but he also has a 1:1 TD to Interception ratio and a decent amount of sacks to his name. Josh Johnson is the favored target and the running game is a committee but the top two backs are pretty good. Deneric Prince in particular gave us some issues last year. I usually don't talk about kickers but Tulsa's kicker hasn't missed a XP or FG all season. The defense no longer has Zaven Collins and it shows. The leading solo tackler on the team is a CB.

The Golden Hurricane are fairly balanced this season which is weird for Philip Montgomery whois an Art Briles disciple. They are 3-5 heading into this game and I don't see them improving on that this weeked. I would not be surprised if Montgomery finally loses his job after this season.

The line on this game is Bearcats -22.5. I'd love for us to blow these guys up becuase they are a common opponent with tOSU who struggled with them to the point that Kerry Coombs lost control of the defensive play calling after their. ESPN give UC a whopping 94.4% win odds.

Lorenz Metz took a lot of heat his first two years for his propensity for pre-snap jumps when he was at tackle. Really glad he has grown and is getting some love at his new guard spot. He deserves it!

And while I don't generally like to pile on we need a 70 point outing to celebrate Homecoming, Gameday and GMA (yes they had a spot on UC this morning, including "Down the Drive").

I guess I say this a lot, but this game worries me. Tulsa has been hearing the hype all week, and they’re not terrible. They would love nothing better than to knock off UC, because of the UC ranking, and even more so because we’re leaving them behind in the AAC. They probably feel a little disrespected being the homecoming opponent too. For all these reasons you can bet they’ll bring all they have and even more. It important that we match their intensity, which I worry about with all the distractions this week. Hope I’m wrong.

At this point in the season EVERYONE wants to knock us off. There will be no easy games.

Agree with this comment. Every opponent from here out will bring the maximum intensity it can. No easy games at all, despite what the naysayers think of the AAC. Go Bearcats!!

If anyone gets an update on the Ford injury, can you let us know?

[Josh Rexhausen]

Can't not score on drives if they are going to let Tulsa dunk and dunk down the field like that.
