UTSA Roadrunners at Tulsa Golden Hurricane Preview
The UTSA Roadrunners are set to face off against the Tulsa Golden Hurricane in what promises to be an intriguing matchup at Chapman Stadium. The Roadrunners, coming off a solid 38-24 victory over the Florida Atlantic Owls, are looking to build on their momentum. Quarterback Owen McCown was instrumental in that win, throwing for 340 yards and two touchdowns, despite two interceptions. His ability to lead the offense will be crucial as UTSA aims to improve their 3-4 record.
On the ground, Brandon High showcased his efficiency with 65 yards on just nine carries, including a touchdown, while Houston Thomas contributed significantly in the air with 63 receiving yards. The Roadrunners' offensive versatility will be a key factor as they take on a Tulsa team that has struggled defensively in recent outings.
The Golden Hurricane, on the other hand, are reeling from a 20-10 loss to the Temple Owls. Quarterback Kirk Francis managed 153 passing yards with a touchdown and an interception, but the offense as a whole struggled to find rhythm. Anthony Watkins was a bright spot, with 73 receiving yards and a touchdown, yet the team will need more consistent production to challenge UTSA.
Defensively, Tulsa will need to tighten up to contain McCown and the Roadrunners' dynamic offense. The Golden Hurricane are currently underdogs with a +7.5 spread, and they will need to exceed expectations to secure a victory. With the over/under set at 54.5 points, both teams will be looking to exploit defensive weaknesses and capitalize on scoring opportunities.
As the Roadrunners travel to Tulsa, they are favored to win, and their recent performance suggests they have the upper hand. However, the Golden Hurricane will be eager to defend their home turf and turn their season around with a statement win.
UTSA Roadrunners at Tulsa Golden Hurricane Pick: UTSA Roadrunners Moneyline
The UTSA Roadrunners are poised to secure a victory against the Tulsa Golden Hurricane, and the moneyline pick for UTSA is well-supported by recent performances and statistical trends. The Roadrunners are coming off a convincing 38-24 win over the Florida Atlantic Owls, showcasing their offensive prowess. Quarterback Owen McCown was a standout performer, amassing 340 passing yards and two touchdowns, which highlights his ability to lead a dynamic offense. Despite throwing two interceptions, McCown's overall performance was instrumental in UTSA's success, and his dual-threat capability adds another layer of complexity for Tulsa's defense to manage.
On the ground, Brandon High demonstrated efficiency with 65 rushing yards on just nine carries, averaging an impressive 7.2 yards per carry, and contributing a touchdown. This balanced offensive attack, complemented by Houston Thomas's 63 receiving yards, underscores the Roadrunners' versatility and ability to exploit defensive weaknesses. In contrast, the Golden Hurricane struggled offensively in their recent 20-10 loss to the Temple Owls. Quarterback Kirk Francis managed only 153 passing yards with a single touchdown and an interception, indicating a lack of offensive rhythm and consistency.
Defensively, Tulsa has shown vulnerabilities that UTSA is well-equipped to exploit. The Golden Hurricane's inability to contain opposing offenses was evident in their recent outings, and facing a Roadrunners team that has found its stride offensively poses a significant challenge. With UTSA favored by a -300 moneyline and a spread of -8.0, the odds reflect the Roadrunners' superior form and potential to dominate this matchup. As they travel to Tulsa, UTSA's recent momentum and offensive depth make them the clear choice to secure a win, reinforcing the moneyline pick in their favor.
UTSA Roadrunners at Tulsa Golden Hurricane Top Player Prop Picks
Owen McCown Over 300.5 Passing Yards -110 (DraftKings)
Owen McCown has been a pivotal force for the UTSA Roadrunners, particularly in their recent victory over the Florida Atlantic Owls where he threw for an impressive 340 yards. His ability to consistently find his targets and move the chains makes him a prime candidate to exceed 300.5 passing yards against a Tulsa defense that has shown vulnerabilities. Given Tulsa's recent struggles to contain opposing quarterbacks, McCown is well-positioned to exploit these weaknesses and deliver another high-yardage performance.
Brandon High Over 60.5 Rushing Yards -110 (FanDuel)
Brandon High demonstrated his rushing prowess in the Roadrunners' last outing, amassing 65 yards on just nine carries, which translates to an impressive 7.2 yards per carry. His efficiency on the ground is a testament to his ability to find gaps in the defense and capitalize on them. With Tulsa's defense having difficulty in recent games, High is likely to have ample opportunities to surpass the 60.5 rushing yards mark, making this a strong prop bet.
Anthony Watkins Over 50.5 Receiving Yards -110 (BetRivers)
Despite Tulsa's offensive struggles, Anthony Watkins has been a bright spot, particularly in their recent game against Temple where he recorded 73 receiving yards and a touchdown. Watkins' ability to make significant plays in the passing game is crucial for Tulsa's offense, and with the Roadrunners focusing on containing other threats, Watkins could find himself in favorable matchups. His knack for breaking free and gaining substantial yardage makes the over on 50.5 receiving yards an attractive proposition.
