CFB Week 8 Thursday

Tulsa @ East Carolina - 7:30 PM

---

We might see the fastest paced football game of the year player in this one. These are two of the fastest paced teams in the FBS.

Now ECU's run defense is official... but Tulsa doesn't wanna run the ball. They want to throw it and they've finally got their QB back on the field. They've also got one of their maine WRs back, Micah Tease. He came back in the Memphis game and caught a 34 yard TD.

Now Kirk Francis didn't look great his first start back... but we saw the pass first offense that Tre Lamb was telling us about in the offseason. He threw 3 interceptions... but I'm not necessarily betting on him to put points up... I'm betting on fireworks.

I'm not questioning ECU's defensive front. They're elite against the run. But look at their numbers against the pass when they play a team that actually has a QB that can throw it. They've played Campbell, Coastal and Army. ECU might also be missing LB Dameon Wilson. He's listed as questionable. DT Xaiver MxIvor is gonna miss another game... he's been out since Week 1.

I think Tulsa can score points in this game... and on the other side, we know ECU is gonna score points. They move fast as hell and Katin Houser always lights up bad defenses.

I know Tulsa's defensive numbers don't look that bad on the year... but they played Abilene Christian, New Mexico State, Oklahoma State. Look at their numbers when they've played decent offenses.

And look at ECU's offensive numbers against bad defenses. Coastal and Army are on a similar level defensively to Tulsa.

Points points points. I'm on the over. I got 52.5 but I'd play it up to 57.5.
