Tulsa has the enviable position of being one of the first college football games of the 2013 season.

When the Golden Hurricane kick off next Thursday, it will be involved in one of eight nationally-televised games. The first game of the night is the somewhat awkward 5 p.m. start between North Carolina and South Carolina on ESPN.

The Hurricane open an ESPNU doubleheader at 6 p.m., followed by Rutgers at Fresno State.

With only two ranked teams playing Thursday night -- No. 6 South Carolina and No. 24 USC -- most generic fans will be freely flipping through the televised games. That gives Tulsa a chance to make an impression -- one that would last through the late-game halftime highlight shows and perhaps into Friday.

Tulsa's other Thursday game dates are a little tougher, especially the November matchup with Marshall that comes just five days after a trip to East Carolina.

But next week's Thursday game is nothing but an advantage for the Hurricane -- as long as it can make it one.

TU beat writer Bill Haisten and I talked Hurricane football last week in advance of our college football preview section hitting newsstands. Check it out below, if you haven't already.

Bill thinks a 10-win season is well within reach for the Golden Hurricane.
