Tulsa (-5.5) over So. Miss
Tulsa is 2nd in C-USA in scoring, with 30.2 points per game. Tulsa is also 2nd in the conference in total offense, with 417.2 ypg, and turnovers, with 3. The Golden Hurricane is 1st in the conference in total defense, allowing just 274 ypg, but one season after leading C-USA with 36 takeaways Tulsa has forced only 5 turnovers in 4 games. Playing at home might be an edge for Tulsa but the Golden Hurricane won 34-17 at Southern Miss last year. Tulsa's QB Smith has completed 66.1% of his passes for only 152.5 yards per game with 9 touchdowns and 3 picks. Ryan Bugg, WR Idris Moss and TE Ted Curtis are emerging as Tulsa's go-to receivers. They should be good enough weapons to have a good game tonight especially with the way Smith throws the ball. IMO the Golden Eagles have looked sharper by defeating UCF, N.C. State and Southeastern Louisiana, with a loss to Florida. So. Miss has great team speed and will be a tough test for Tulsa. So. Miss will rely on the running game and Fletcher is leading C-USA with 127.3 ypg. Thi will be a very good offensive game. Both teams have the talent to make plays on offense. IMO Tusla has more ability to make plays on defense and that should give them an advantage. Tough to spot a good So. Miss 5.5 points but I like the way Tulsa plays at home. They are playing on a long week and So. Miss is playing on a short week. UCF is out right TERRIBLE in pass defense yet they played So. Miss tough and I think Tulse will be able to play them a little harder. Young is a decent passer but he only completes about 53% of his passes and will throw a pick if pressured. Tulsa looking to score a lot tonight, while So. Miss will try to establish the running game. I think at home with the more explosive offense Tulsa plays hard.
