TU Will Have to Be at Best

Tulsa will have to play better than it has all year if it hopes to have any hope against Boise State.
The Golden Hurricane has a terrific opportunity to gain some national attention in a Wednesday night game against the Broncos, ranked fifth in the nation.
Tulsa is capable.
But, TU has not played well in these kind of games in recent years.
Earlier this season, the Golden Hurricane played poorly in a loss at Oklahoma when the Sooners were playing without Sam Bradford.
A similar Tulsa performance against Boise State will result in a similar blowout loss.
One should assume Tulsa will play much better at home, especially given the importance of this game. If so, TU will have a chance to pull off one of its bigger upsets in recent years.

The offensive line is the key for TU. They played much better in the second half at Rice after making some personnel changes in the O-line at halftime. Maybe they have found the formula. Control the ball. Let the defense rest. Give GJ some time to look downfield.
