# 47 - Tulsa Golden Hurricane 9-4 SU, 10-3 ATS

Fargo's Take despite the move to make the tough C-USA last season, Tulsatogether a fantastic season, going 6-2 in the conference, winning the first C-USA championship and beat Fresno St. in the Liberty Bowl. After losing the first two games of the season against Minnesota and Oklahoma, the hurricane 's Gold went to nine of their last 11 games and win most of the victories were not even close. A step backwards is the norm for most mid-major teams, after the successful season, Tulsa, but has the chance to get even better this year. The GoldenHurricane return of 16 starters, plus two other former starters, a program that is very handy and has one of the best young coaches in the game in Steve Kragthorpe have. Repetition in the West Division will be a tough challenge, but the pieces are in place for back-to-back championships.

Returning starters up front - 7 Tulsa finished 39th in the country in total offense and 23 on the offensive and scored really alive down the stretch from an average of 39 ppgthe last five games. Junior QB Paul Smith had an outstanding season with 2835 yards, 20 touchdowns and only six complaints, while completing 62.4 percent of his passes. Will be looking for new targets, as his three receivers are gone, but in search of three elderly, to carry the load. Also gone is the leading rusher Uril Parrish, but the depth is a plus, as the Golden Hurricane had three players who combined for 1062 yards and 6.2 YPC. We'll run behind an offensive lineThis is only an appetizer, like the four returnees are all senior citizens lost. The average is 33.1 points per game last season has been awarded since 1975 and could be better this year.

Returning starters on defense - 9 as good as the offense has played down the track, the defense played even better. After deduction of 30 or more points in four of the first five games, allowing both to become Tulsa once in their last eight matches, while only 21 ppg span of eight games. The secondary has been aReturn of the best in the country and with each, you should continue in power. Tulsa finished 17th in passing defense, 11th passing efficiency defense and picked up 22 passes, the third in the country. All three starters return, led by linebacker Nelson Coleman leading tackler. Concern about the unit is the defensive line, as has been bullied around a lot last season. The rushing defense finished 77th in the nation, and if the Golden Hurricane can stiffen a path in searchTrenches, this may be the best defense in the conference.

Calendar The calendar conference is not the last season was tough, but did not hurt Tulsa current conference in action. This year, the games of the conference is much easier, but are preparing for the difficult C-USA slate. Two home games will be easy to win against Stephen F. Austin and North Texas, but the two games of road will be a challenge, as heads BYU and Navy. The conference program begins with a tough match Homeagainst Southern Mississippi, but then his three consecutive weeks, with a brief pause, consisting of a bye and two weeks winnable road games at East Carolina and Memphis. Following this line, where in the West, the host Golden Hurricane and UTEP Houston travel will be decided in back-to-back weeks. You missing from Central Florida Division East.

You ... Despite the signing of an extension of six years, Kragthorpe will be a strong demand for larger schools, where Tulsatogether another solid season. He led the Golden Hurricane to two bowl games his first three years and this season will do two in a row. Tulsa was one of the most profitable teams in the country last season, going 10-3 against the number, including a perfect 8-0 ATS in road games. If there is a disadvantage for the dissemination of their previous record, it's just that the Golden Hurricane are 7-14 ATS in the Conference of non-action. The matches will be difficult to cover this year, for the simpleThat they may be overstated based on the performance of last season. It would be a wise shot too early in the season.
