Reality is they will be a fairly difficult game. They control the ball and do not turn it over and excel on stopping what the Tigers do best.

DO NOT LOOK PAST THE GREEN WAVE.

If you do it could easily turn into a Nightmare on S Hollywood street. We could end up getting a Trick instead of a Treat.

The reason for low passing yards is because they played Army (0), Navy (132), Grambling (148) and USF (127). Two rushing teams, a bad FCS team and USF who ran for almost 400 yards. Oklahoma put over 400 passing yards on them.

What is the reason they are 28th in interceptions???? If teams threw on them so few times and they are still 28th in interceptions should tell you something about their DBs.

Not a lot of deviation in interceptions. One less interception and you are 44, two less and you are 62. Two interceptions were against Army who has 16 completed passes and 5 interceptions the whole year. Doesn't mean anything really.

Yet the number of picks in ration to the number of passes thrown by the other team is the main issue. The other team is running all over them so as you say they do not see many passes. But when they do it is more likely they pick them off compared to most of the other schools.

If someone throws 100 passes and you pick off 5 it is not as impressive if someone throw 50 passes and you pick off 5. It is the number of picks they have in relation to the number of passes the other teams throws. And as you say the other teams do not throw many passes due to their running the ball without resistance.

the only teams with the kind of team speed Tulane has seen this year like us, is USF and Oklahoma.
We're gonna pass em silly. Which will open up the running game.
Not saying they won't be tough...bur Tulane is the AAC version of Vanderbilt...Charlie Browns of college football.
