Colorado State at Tulsa

Tulsa was reputed to have another strong offensive team, but they were not able to generate much of anything last week vs. Bowling Green. The Golden Hurricane were shutout 34-0 with 6 minutes left before notching a courtesy touchdown. Colorado State isn't nearly as proficient as Bowling Green on defense, but you have to wonder how the lack of defense is now impacting the Hurricane offense. Tulsa lost its entire defensive line from a year ago and the Falcons, who are not very offensive, rushed for 233 yards. Tulsa has returned just three starters on defense, so the Rams may be able to move the ball pretty well here. Colorado State was within 2 points of Colorado last week into the fourth quarter, but fell apart to lose by 14. The Golden Hurricane has struggled off a poor offensive game at 3-9 ATS in their last 12 after gaining 275 yards or less in their previous contest. This one is closer than it looks, so take the points and play on Colorado State.
