All of the CFN Fearless Predictions

Tulane vs East Carolina Game Preview


Why Tulane Will Win

It’s a make or break game and moment for Tulane, and it should play like it.

It wasn’t bad in a 28-21 loss to UAB, and it suffered from having Oklahoma and Ole Miss on the schedule, but get ready for a team that comes out with a sense of urgency.

The offense needs to be more explosive, but the passing attack has been okay. The pass D hasn’t been great, the line gets into the backfield and the takeaways are there.

East Carolina’s offensive line isn’t anything great, and the defense is giving up 500 yards a game. This is the week when Tulane has to go from okay to great, especially through the air against a leaky secondary.

However …

Why East Carolina Will Win

The Pirates might have found their groove – at least for what they do.

They’re never going to have a brick wall of a defense, but it takes the ball away. The three turnovers forced against South Carolina kept the game alive, and they all but won the game against Marshall.

Tulane has a turnover problem with ten spread out over the first four games – the four against UAB were killer. Make this Green Wave offense press, and it’ll make mistakes.

What’s Going To Happen

Which team will finally show what it really is this season?

Tulane should be able to run the ball as much as it wants to and get back to the style of play it likes, but East Carolina should be able to take over with its own offense that seems ready to bust out.

Both teams have similar issues, but Tulane has a bit more of a defense. This week the ground game takes over in a back-and-forth blast that should come down to the final drive.

Why Tulane Will Win

The Green Wave pass rush continues to be among the best in the conference.

The defense overall might have its issues against the better passing teams, but at least there’s enough pressure into the backfield to be a bother. East Carolina’s offensive front is able to pound away a bit, but it’s not good in pass protection and there are way too many negative plays.

Offensively, Tulane came up with one of its best performances of the year in a good 38-3 win over Temple. It was balanced, the passing game has been okay, and when the running game rolls, the team wins.

Tulane is 3-1 when grinding out 200 yards or more, and ECU gives up 205 rushing yards per game.

CFN Experts Picks: College Football

Why East Carolina Will Win

The Pirate passing game is working.

The wins might not be there, but it’s a hard-luck team with two straight close-call losses to Navy and Tulsa when the O was just fine. The Pirates are great at controlling the clock and the tempo, and now it gets to roll against a Green Wave offense that doesn’t really care about time of possession.

ECU should have the ball for 35 minutes and should be able to put the pressure if Holton Ahlers ca get hot again. He hit a strong Tulsa team for 330 yards through the air with his third three-touchdown day of the season.

What’s Going To Happen

East Carolina just can’t break through, but it’s not playing poorly. After a rough first two games to start the season the team is starting to play a whole lot better. The wins aren’t there, but the team is just so close.

Tulane and QB Michael Pratt will hit enough deep plays to turn this into a shootout, but the defense will led the team down again. It’ll be a close, fun game with the Pirates finally getting its second win.
