We might as well have let the opponents wide receivers run open every play and just hoped they would bumble the catch.

I'm almost certain I saw one of our corners catch the ball and hand it to an opposing wideout right before handing over his lunch money as well.

You can't ask for a more in depth and accurate assessment than that. The only thing that wasn't at least mentioned was the possible weakness of our backup QB's.

and allowed at least 30 points in 11 of 13.
----------------------------------------------

in over half or the bowl games last year, the winning team scored 40 or more points.

The new normal?

Very informative preview ! I enjoyed reading it. There is someone who actually did their homework!

However, I think he has us underrated at 9th place in the AAC & 93rd nationally. The reviewer himself said we are probably rated too low.

I think we will be slightly improved on offense (assuming a healthy Evans), & noticeably improved on defense. I predict a 7-5 or possibly 8-4 season ahead for Tulsa. With all of our offensive weapons, we should be a fun team to watch !
