[FultonStreetBlues]

I did make a mistake the guy coached Rice not Smu....good points guys all around. Agree with you Bo. I did watch La-Monroe a few times play against Auburn way back in the day...that isn't really a good judge as they looked horrible everytime I saw them. I do think you have too throw in the fact that Tulsa is coming off back too back bowl seasons and this has an extremely positive effect on recruiting...now I don't know if they can get 4 replacements on the OL, but I have a feeling they have a enough blockers too clear out holes against La-Monroe. I do believe you can't really go on what you think in gambling. There are other factors like who is on what side and what the late action is on. Tulsa made me bank all last year except the bowl game. A comparison is the Boise State team pre/post Dan Hawkins and the huge postive effect the new coach had, true the cupbar was full at Boise, but I think Tulsa has the guys they needed back and the new players will adjust. I do think there are huge losses on the line, but I think theres enough let over talent with the QB and RB too pull out a win...a transfer from Bob Stoops Oklahoma squad does not hurt Tulsa one bit. The 5 wide set might not work for Graham so hopefully they will pound the ball with that tailback.
