Whoever loses this is pretty much done when it comes to making a bowl.

Both teams have a loss to a well performing CUSA squad, both have two losses to P5 teams, both have a win vs an FCS school, and both have an upset win vs AAC teams.

Thinking Tulane runs the option Right???
Hope we can shut them done and keep the ball a long time.

They run a spread option with the QB in shotgun formation. Not like Navy. Different scheme. I bet Kane can come up with something to slow it down.

And both teams will have 2 weeks to prepare and to get healthy. Should be a good one.

Should be a big crowd in New Orleans too for such a huge game in The American!

MUST win. Biggest game of the year. They will be fired up to be beat us after last year and at home. Really tough for us - HAVE to be at 100% and clicking on all cylinders to have a chance. Tulsa and Uconn are other wins. HAVE to get this win to have any chance to make a bowl.

We had to be at 100% and firing on all cylinders to beat Michigan. We need only to play our game to beat Tulane.

I dunno. I think that would be the case for TCU. Michigan game, if Hicks didn’t throw the Pick 6 right before the half, it would have been 14-7 possibly 14-10 going into the half with us getting the ball. Who knows.

I respect your opinion, but mine is that we had very very little chance of beating Michigan, TCU, or UCF 100% and firing on all cylinders or not. To beat Tulane, we CAN beat them but we have to be near perfect and have our depth especially at RB back. And need Nelson, et al healthy on defense. Same goes for Cincy although I'm not quite sure we can beat them at 100%. Maybe. UConn and Tulsa yes. Maybe even Memphis. But Cincy looks really good. Going to near impossible to get that 6th win, but it starts with beating Tulane. Absolute MUST win IMHO.

You use the words "can" "possible" and "maybe" and "impossible" differently than I do.
