Southern Miss vs Tulane Pick
Southern Miss has struggled with turnovers and enters after allowing 48 points against UConn. Those defensive problems should create favorable opportunities for a Tulane offense looking to respond after losing at Kansas State. The Green Wave can establish Lucas early and use the running game to create manageable passing situations for Semonza. Southern Miss may generate some production through Robinson and Sanders, but consistently finishing drives will be difficult. Look for Tulane to take control before halftime and pull away during the final 2 quarters. The Green Wave should cover the large spread, while Southern Miss can contribute enough points to push the matchup over.
