SUNDAY:

Tulsa at East Carolina

The pointspread on this game is being skewed by two prevailing opinions. One, that two- time defending Conference USA champ East Carolina will be way down in 2010 after losing not only highly-regarded head coach Skip Holtz, but also the most starters in the nation. And second, that the Golden Hurricane offense figures to rebound following a sub-par 2009 campaign in which the previously- prolific attack’s production plummeted by 18 ppg and 160 ypg from prior season. Tulsa should have a much more potent offense this season, returning four starters on the offensive line, but more importantly their starting quarterback G.J. Kinne. Overall the Golden Hurricane return nine out of eleven starters on offense as well. Home field hasn’t really mattered in this series either, with the road team covering the last three times these teams have played. This game should be a big statement game for the Tulsa program overall. They had a very disappointing season last year, going 5-7, including a six game losing streak, before ending the year with an overtime win over Memphis. However, that stretch included games against the best conference teams one after another when they weren’t’ playing well. However, the defense returns three out of four starters on the defensive line, so both the offense and defense looks more stable than last year. Meanwhile, this season looks to be a down year for East Carolina. After back-to-back Conference USA titles the fall from grace for the Pirates could be severe in this rebuilding season. Coach Skip Holtz has departed and only eight projected starters are returning players including only two on defense. Last year’s defense was not as strong as in 2008 but the Pirates should take an even bigger step back this season. Despite out- gaining and out-scoring foes last season Tulsa went 5-7. They hired Ruffin McNeil to replace Skip Holtz as the head coach, but McNeil has no head coaching experience and his defense wasn’t particularly dominant at Texas Tech. He only returns six starters overall and is also trying to install a Texas Tech style spread offense. The Golden Hurricane were embarrassed by the Pirates last year at home, losing 44-17, so there is added motivation for them in this game to avenge the blowout loss. East Carolina’s team has hardly any returning starters, a new coach with a new offensive and defensive scheme, and facing a team returning several starters with a big revenge factor. The Pirates have played very well at Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium posting a 10-2 mark here the past two seasons. But those teams returned veteran casts of 16 starters each season. The last time East Carolina brought back ten starters or less was in 2004 and the team went on to a 2-9 record. My capping has Tulsa winning by 12

Southern Methodist at Texas Tech

There is plenty of experience back for the Red Raiders and Tommy Tuberville is a fine replacement for this team. Three QBs for them now have starting experience for this team and the receiving threats are high quality also. After an 8-5 season the Mustangs could even take a step forward with a favorable schedule but a weak secondary could be a serious problem against this offense. Texas Tech should be the superior running team in this match-up as SMU rushed for only 110 yards per game in 2009. SMU wasn’t within 30 points of TT in three meetings between 2006-08. The teams did not play LY, when Mustang coach June Jones engineered the season’s biggest turnaround from 1-11 in 2008 to ‘09’s 8-5. Still, none of those victories was registered against a foe in the class of the Red Raiders, who are well familiar with dealing with run-and-shoot attacks. Tommy has vowed to improve not only TT’s defense, but also to run with more authority. Mustang soph QB Kyle Padron, despite his 460 YP in LY’s Hawaii Bowl vs. Nevada, has made only six starts and is accompanied by a still-youthful group of skill players. In this series every game has played under the total the past few years. SMU had played under in 17 of 23 games as a road dog from +10½ to 21. SMU does play an up tempo style under J. Jones. However that will not matter too much as Texas Tech has a solid defense.
