Tulsa marches down to the 2 yard line, but can't finish the drive. Golden Hurricane back up 17-14.... But the Cowboys return the kickoff for a TD, Oklahoma State up 21-17
Tulsa's offense has continued to look not great (their first TD was a pick 6). Could mean good things for our offense though although Tulsa's defense is back to full strength. At the end of the day no matter the situations involved, the more games Tulsa wins the better it is for us.
I predict a pretty good day for the offense in general. USD has nowhere near the size and strength that Tulsa had in the trenches. I also want to see Hunter put together another consistent performance. That was his biggest issue in the shortened season. He would be playing really well but then have a bonehead play like unforced fumbles, scrambling backwards for 20 yard and taking a sack, etc. He didn't do any of that against Tulsa which was encouraging.
Yep, like I said we cannot overlook the Toreros. They'll be hungry to get one in the win column. I'm less worried about warm weather games after looking at how the guys handled the heat and humidity in Tulsa. Conditioning looks like its in a good place.
EWU always seems to have our number. They might end up being the most difficult game of the season including Tulsa. That being said, I think the Aggies have the capability to be competitive in every remaining game, it just comes down to if they are going to play up to that potential.
Oh I absolutely agree with you in that regard. I think Montana is the largest example of preferential treatment when it comes to the polls, but Montana State and Eastern Washington also come to mind. It's much easier to make large jumps in the polls early on in the season so I wouldn't be surprised to see Davis in the top 10 after week 1 is complete, but depends on what some other teams do on Saturday.
