"Our top play this week is on Tulane as we are big
fans of Coach Willie Fritz. Fritz if you remember used to coach Georgia
Southern and led them to a 9-3 and 8-4 season which eventually led to a
GoDaddy Bowl Game. Then he got the call up to Coach in the American
Athletic Conference with Tulane and he took the opportunity. His first
year was tough as the team went on to a 4-8 record but quietly he has
done what he has always done and rebuilt this team to a much stronger up
front team and now sits at 2-2 including a win over Army last week.
Remember, he used to coach Sam Houston State and took a 6-5 team there
to a 14-1 and 11-4 record in back to back years including trips to the
NCAA Championship at the lower level. Fritz used to be a secondary coach
too during his developing years which is why Tulane is top 25 in the
nation in pass defense. This team is also top 20 in the nation in
rushing yards as well. This is a team that loves to control the trenches
and don't forget this team has played Oklahoma this year and lost 14-56
and lost to Navy 21-23 as an 8 point underdog on the road and beat up
on Grambling earlier this year 43-14. With Tulsa beating this team 57-20
last year this team has more than enough revenge coming into this game.
Plus, Tulsa has Houston on deck and is one of the worst defenses in
America ranked outside the top 125. Sure, Tulsa can run the ball with
great efficiency as a top 20 rushing team - but Tulane will just load
the box and make them pass it as Tulsa is ranked 115th in passing.
Tulane is 5-2 ATS following a bye week and the favorite is 11-1 in the
last 12 meetings between these two teams"
