300-Unit College Midweek Cruiser - TULSA GOLDEN HURRICANE
This game should certainly be entertaining as both teams are capable of putting up points and moving the ball. The problem I see with UTEP is the Miners just give up way too much yardage per game. And with Tulsa?s quick strike capability, this game could get out of hand just like last year?s 77-35 blowout.
Tulsa trailed 28-21 in last year?s game at home as a 20.5-point favorite, but turned on the jets and got the offense in gear and wound up with the 77-35 victory and a huge 791 total yards of offense. It was the most yards in a Division 1-A game last season.
And it doesn?t look like things have gotten much better for UTEP?s defense, as it gave up 486 yards in a 35-20 loss at Memphis as a 1.5-point road favorite on October 10. Another problem for the Miners is turnovers as they coughed it up three times in their loss to Memphis and fell to 2-6 SU in their last eight overall.
UTEP is giving up 46.7 points and 596 yards per game in its last three overall, while Tulsa has allowed just 13.7 and 270.7 in its last three.
Tulsa fought Boise State a week ago but fell 28-21, cashing as a nine-point home ?dog, but the Golden Hurricane thought they were winning that thing. They had a 14-8 advantage after the first quarter but managed just 88 yards rushing as the offense stalled. Remember, this team?s only losses this year are to Oklahoma and Boise State, both teams ranked in the Top 12 in the country when they faced off.
UTEP is on ATS slides of 2-5 overall, 3-7 at home and 3-11 on artificial turf. Meanwhile, Tulsa is on ATS runs of 4-1-1 overall and 3-0-1 as a chalk.
Play Tulsa to put up a lot of points and cover this number tonight!
