College Football Trends:
The South Florida Bulls are:
8-2 ATS in their last 10 games against a team with a losing record
8-2 ATS in their last 10 games after accumulating more than 450 total yards in their previous game
7-3 ATS in their last 10 road games against a team with a losing home record
The Tulsa Golden Hurricane are:
0-4 ATS in their last four home games
0-5 ATS in their last five games following an ATS win
0-4 ATS in their last four games after allowing more than 200 yards rushing in their previous game
Tulsa played a perfect game against Houston for three quarters. Can they generate a similar effort against another high-powered offense like South Florida? Will Tulsa have an answer for Jordan Cronkrite, since they allow 209.2 rushing yards per game?
There's also too much uncertainty at quarterback. Tulsa after freshman Seth Boomer sent sophomore Luke Skipper to the bench. That leaves the defense as their only chance of pulling off the upset. They give up 31.2 points per game so may be unlikely.
