Doesn't matter UC wins without him starting. Tulane got spanked by Rutgers for god's sake and gave up 47 points to Duke. Oh, and lost to Tulsa (no offense Tulsa) I expect a good game but UC to come out on top. Defense is playing better.

Crucial question, as-yet-unanswered.

Tulane coming off a bye week; UC playing its 8th game in a row without a break. I don't think that will be decisive all by itself but I do think it will make a difference.

How good is Tulane? The fans seem to think highly of them.

Quote:I watched most of the first half of the Memphis-SMU game yesterday and couldn't tell much about UM/MU because SMU was so terrible. The Tigers do have a 245-pound running back that they use in goal-line situations. Memphis scored on a couple of long plays - blown coverages. Our secondary is light years ahead of the Ponies', so we shouldn't get lit up as badly as they did. SMU also dropped a lot of passes. They (SMU) were down to their 4th-string QB.

UM/MU's #1 RB was injured a couple of games ago and is apparently out for the season. Glad we're playing them at home, but it is Homecoming.

Let's concentrate on burying the Bearcats and evening our AAC record.

Our game is Friday night...high of 68, low in the 40s...sunny all day. (and 0% chance of rain)

I'll take it!

What's the weather in UConn for this game. If it's one of those cold windy days, UConn and their defense will make life miserable for UCF coming from Florida weather.

Which USF team shows up for UH game? Big question there.

Will UC have their starting QB back?

University of Cincinnati quarterback Gunner Kiel appears likely to play in Friday's game at Tulane, coach Tommy Tuberville said Monday.

Tuberville said he did not know whether Kiel will start, and said backup quarterback Munchie Legaux also will probably play against Tulane.

"I'm looking forward to Gunner playing and Munchie playing," Tuberville said. "I'm kind of intrigued. The players are rallying around Munchie. Gunner is our starter, but it's important that he be 100 percent."

Legaux this week returns with UC to his hometown of New Orleans, where Tulane is located. Legaux was 14-for-15 passing for 121 yards and also rushed for a touchdown in relief of Kiel last week. Kiel completed 13-of-22 passes for 196 yards and a touchdown in the first half against USF, and he also rushed for a 17-yard TD

Quote:"I'm looking forward to Gunner playing and Munchie playing," Tuberville said. "I'm kind of intrigued. The players are rallying around Munchie. Gunner is our starter, but it's important that he be 100 percent."

Interesting… Sounds like Tuberville honestly hasn't decided yet, but that he will probably go with Legaux at first and see how he does.

That's not the kind of weather Florida teams like to play in and feeds right into UConn's defense. This game will be closer than many think.

Weather has a huge factor on attendance...

Still time to throw out some scores before Friday's games...

CTT talks this way every week. Gunner will start, but no way plays entire game.

Memphis, tulane, ucf, ecu, houston.

if uconn beats UCF, which I highly doubt they will, they will win out and go six and six. this will mean Diago has turned around the program.

I think I jinxed some teams using Top and Bottom 10s in the thread title.
