Plus we still have a passive, predictable defense

How hard is it for some posters to understand? The defense we played against WSU was purposely done that way due to the great O-line they had. WSU did not give up a single blitzing sack last year. With UH inexperience and lack of depth in the secondary it made complete sense to not rush a bunch of lineman and leave the secondary vulnerable against a team with a great O-line that doesnât give up sacks. The defense we played against WSU in not the prototypical defense that UH will run this year.

How is the line bigger? What changed from Saturday (Tulane last game) to Tuesday? Is it because we lost a linebacker for the year? I think everything else is the same. Vegas just trying to get people to bet?

- Itâs Thursday night - I donât want you to miss the game.
- Fritz is a good coach and Tulane could definitely win by 3 or by 3 TDs. But who has Tulane beaten over the last two seasons that impresses? Memphis and ULaLa? This is why it surprises me that Tulane is favored by more than a FG after decent showings by UH against OU and WSU. It feels more like a Pick Em

Their DC tipping his hand?

Not only that but it worked. Others have commented and I agree, that our defense did well against WSU. Do you think anyone else will hold them to 31 points this year? I donât. When our offense breaks through, weâll be fine.

Thereâs a reason they brought in so many transfers. I agree, the talent across the board isnât what we are used to having
Tulane is playing better than we are. Offense disappeared in the second half vs both PVAM and WSU and has generally been erratic.

Everyone wants to keep King in the pocket. O-line needs to come together, receivers need to get separation and CATCH THE BALL.

We need to utilize more flares to the running backs. Nearly every college team is abusing that route as the primary check down these days. I havenât seen that very much with CDH however. With how clunky their line is we need them to run sideline to sideline before we can run right at them. We could wear them down without the running back taking hits from the front 7; that also sets up a pump and go situation, where you fake the flare and hit Stevenson on a deep post or go route. This is assuming they continue blitz like they have been.

Biggest issue has been WRs getting open in man coverage

If they do not learn to plant a foot when they make a cut, they will never get separation. Have to stop rounding their cuts.

Cool. I give him credit for improving last season (without much coaching too). Still doesnât change that Damarion has been a better cover corner and that the reason Johnson was drafted was because of his size, speed, and potential.

Ok, when did Tulane play âbetter thanâ us in the last 3 days? Wasnât the line decided Sunday @ 2.5points? After our games concluded.
Not really a big deal, but I donât see the increase in the spread with no reported changes in either team over the last 3 days. Doesnât matter anyway, weâre taking them down!

The increase in the spread is due to the fact that anyone who has watched the two teams is hammering Tulane at the max.
For a spread to go up 2.5 points for a Thursday AAC matchup there are a LOT of gamblers playing Tulane.

I think weâre gonna destroy them. Weâre sick of being 1-2. Weâre better than this and weâre better than them.
