Tulsa at East Carolina

Tulsa is more dangerous than its 0-3 American Athletic Conference record shows. The Golden Hurricane's league losses came to Navy, Tulane, and Memphis, who have a combined overall record of 17-1 and are probably the three best teams in the AAC. Tulsa defeated Oklahoma State, 19-12, as a 10-point underdog in its last road game, ending Mike Gundy's coaching career at Oklahoma State. The Golden Hurricane were 16.5-point underdogs to East Carolina last season and only lost, 38-31, getting tackled at the East Carolina one-yard line in the final seconds. The Pirates didn't take their final lead until there was just 2:07 left. Tulsa's offensive line has gotten healthy following its bye last week. Dominic Richardson gives the Golden Hurricane the best running back on the field. East Carolina is more explosive, but the Pirates have struggled to run the ball, ranking 85th with an average of 3.6 yards per carry, and quarterback Katin House has been intercepted four times. Tulsa cornerback Elijah Green is tied for the national lead with five interceptions. The Golden Hurricane has come up with eight takeaways. The Pirates have only three takeaways. Take Tulsa.
