good to see that Tulsa's D is about the same as Rice's -- more or less. Their O stats might be skewed (I'm telling myself) -- wins over Memphis and FCS team Central Arkansas might have affected the numbers. but, ECU loss was impressive nonetheless. I'm gonna hope that KP has turned a corner and our O will continue to improve. that should take some heat off our D -- I hope........I hope.

I thought you were supposed to be ROY? I expected more out of you Cutter.
lol.....Harry, Harry, Harry..... I don't vote. besides, I'm really, really, really clueless about gambling. I'm gonna try not to, but I'll probably ask the same q again every time someone starts posting those numbers. why doesn't anyone say "we're favored by ___" or "we're not favored by ___" to help out helpless souls like me? lol.

this game could end up 51-50. i'm not sure either one can stop the other. our secondary is woeful. we gave up 21 points in the fourth quarter, ableit we were in the prevent for two of those scores but still, that is awful. i hate to think what it would be like if sterling wasn't back there.

ECU's D is one of the worst. #114 in TTL D and #119 in Pass Eff D.

I'm sure Tulsa has a good Offense, they did score 14 more points against Okie State in the fourth quarter agianst scrubs. I would like to think our offense has been a little more tested against Tech and TCU. Tulsa does have a bad defense, we are ok I think. I don't think thier defense stops anything, if the SMU defense does play the way we know they are capable of playing it would be nice. Since this is C-USA, this game will probably resemble an indoor football game, with SMU coming out on top of course.
Zack goes for 150, Kyle throw for 350!
GO MUSTANGS!

I think if we can pressure Kinne with our front 4, we should be fine. Sterling needs to lock down on their all-purpose, all-world WR, Damaris Johnson. If we keep his numbers in check, I feel very good about our chances.

that's what I suspected, but was too lazy to look up. this is looking even better for us.

Don't they always factor in 3 points just for being the home team?

Accuscore has it predicted 34-30, SMU. Sounds good to me.
