The Green Wave was riding an early wave before Tulane hit an ugly stumbling block last week against Southern Miss. Perhaps Tulane was caught looking ahead to this week’s game in Houston, but nonetheless, the Green Wave’s perfect start took a detour last week as a 17.5-point favorite against the Eagles. It wasn’t a fluke win of any kind, either, as previously-winless Southern Miss out-gained and had more first downs than Tulane in that contest.
Houston, meanwhile, has had a fairly pedestrian beginning to the season. The Cougars have dropped games against Kansas and Texas Tech, which looked like really poor results on the surface. But with a little bit of hindsight and with what the Red Raiders and Jayhawks have been able to accomplish since, neither of those losses look too shabby at the moment.
