#270 ASA TOP PLAY ON 10* Over 56.5 Points – Tulane vs Nevada, Tuesday at 3:30 PM ET - The Tulane offense improved greatly in the 2nd half of the season as freshman QB Pratt acclimated to the offense and the college game. He came on strong in the 2nd half of the season throwing for over 200 yards in 4 of his last 6 games after not topping 200 in his first 3 starts. The Green Wave has a very solid running game ranking 19th nationally at 219 rushing YPG and once Pratt started opening up the passing game as well, this offense took off. In the last 6 games they’ve scored at least 30 points in all but one game and that was vs Tulsa who has a top 25 total defense & scoring defense. Even with that, Tulane put up 24 in that game. We full expect them to get to 30 points here. Nevada’s defense ranks 46th nationally in total defense but they’ve played a very weak schedule of offenses including Utah State, UNLV, and San Diego State. On offense, Nevada matches up very well vs Tulane’s defense. The Wolfpack are one of the better passing teams in the country averaging 325 YPG through the air (9th nationally). Their senior QB Strong, who ranks 6th nationally in passing YPG and in the top 20 in passing efficiency, should have a field day vs a Nevada defense that ranks 85th nationally in pass defense. On top of that, Tulane’s all time sack leader and first team all conference DE Johnson will be out for this game only helping Nevada’s passing attack. With the weather looking good in Boise (temp in the upper 30s and winds 10 to 15 MPH) we expect both of these teams to get to 30 points. Take the OVER here.
