The Cincinnati Bearcats take aim at their third straight victory on Friday night when they face the Tulane Green Wave in American Athletic Conference action at Yulman Stadium.
Prospects were bleak for Cincinnati in mid-October, as the Bearcats dropped three straight contests against Ohio State, Memphis and Miami-Florida to fall to 2-3 before the midway point in the month. They have begun to climb back to respectability with wins over SMU (41-3) and South Florida (34-17) in the last two games.
Tulane is not riding a winning or losing streak, although it is leaning closer to the latter. The Green Wave dropped a 20-13 fight with UCF before last week's bye. It was the third setback in the last four games, dropping them to 2-5 overall and 1-2 in conference.
Cincinnati is second only to East Carolina among AAC squads in total offense (464 ypg)
Bearcats, who are third-worst in the AAC in total defense (489.3 ypg).
These teams are meeting for the first time as AAC foes, with this being Tulane's first season in the league. The last time they met at all came back in 2002, when Tulane ran away with a 35-17 victory. The Green Wave have won six of the last seven meetings to grab an 11-3 lead in the all-time series.
The Green Wave may have their starting quarterback back this weekend, with Tanner Lee listed as probable with a shoulder injury. Lee missed the last two games, which allowed Nick Montana, who started for Tulane last season, back in the mix.
Although they may be just 2-5, the Green Wave have not been entirely ripped apart by opposing offenses. Tulane is letting up 367.3 yards (sixth in the AAC) and 28.1 points per game (seventh)
