UCF vs Tulane Game Preview
Why UCF Will Win
The Knight have to keep the offensive balance going.
It would be nice for the offense to explode like it did when it hung 70 on Temple a few weeks ago, but that’s obviously not going to happen. Over 200 yards rushing, over 200 yards receiving – the Knights can do that.
As great as Tulane has been, there isn’t a strong pass rush, there aren’t enough plays behind the line, and UCF and the best offense in the American Athletic Conference should be able to keep the pressure on all game long.
Tulane might be playing well, and it might have pulled off a win over Southern Miss, but the defense will give up a whole lot of passing yards in this.

The team is able to control games, do everything right, and then come through when it has to, but …

What’s Going To Happen
Tulane has to gear up the offense to be ready for a bit of a shootout.
It was able to keep the Houston and East Carolina offenses from going off and – again – didn’t make the mistakes the other side did. That’s going to happen here.
UCF will put up big numbers, but it’ll turn it over a few times, it won’t be able to tun like it normally does, and Tulane will take advantage of all of it.
There will still be hope for UCF, though, in the AAC title chase – these two might meet again in a few weeks.
