The two teams have not met since 2004, when Tulsa played with Boise State in the Western Athletic Conference before moving to Conference USA in 2005. The Golden Hurricanes is 0-4 all-time against the Broncos, losing 45-42 at home on October 16, 2004.
Boise State has won five straight games, and is currently 1-0 in conference play. Their most recent win coming against UC Davis, 34-16 in Week 5. They will need to do a better job finishing drives if they want to beat tougher Tulsa team on the road. The Broncos have scored touchdowns on just 16 of 27 red-zone trips, a problem that tormented them in their last outing against UC Davis.
Defensively the Broncos have been inconsistent, starting good — the Broncos haven’t allowed a first-quarter point all year, and then breaking down mid-game.
The Golden Hurricanes has won two straight games, most recently handing Rice a 27-10 defeat at Rice Stadium in Week 5. TU have won 11 straight at home, the last loss coming against Oklahoma in September of 2007.
Tulsa has led the nation in total offense the past two years and their defense hasn’t allowed a rushing touchdown this season and has registered 19 sacks from nine different players.
This might, in fact, be the Broncos’ toughest contest remaining in on their 2009 schedule.
Broncos vs. Golden Hurricanes Odds:
The Broncos are –9 point favorites in Wednesday’s match up.
Boise State vs. Tulsa Free Pick:
The Broncos will need to capitalize on red-zone opportunities early in the game. Defensively, they’ll need to force turnovers, and play solid defense through four complete quarters. Tulsa must figure out a way to get pressure on Boise State QB Kellen Moore. The Broncos’ offensive line has been nearly impenetrable, allowing only three sacks in five games. Pick BSU
