The Tulane Green Wave host the Houston Cougars on Thursday night from Yulman Stadium in a crucial American Athletic Conference. Tulane has played a very tough schedule while Houston U has had an easy one but you cant go by the records here.

Over the last seven games between the two times, Houston has won four games compared to Tulane’s three. Last season, Houston stunned Tulane, winning 49-31, despite turning the ball over five times in that one. With Thursday’s game potentially being the last one between the two teams, expect a very tight game down to the wire led my Tulane QB Michael Pratt. Tulane's offense is far from the problem, ranking 32nd nationally in points per game, with 35 points per game. The second quarter has been their strong suit and they'll need that fast start to keep pace with Houston. Much was expected of Michael Pratt entering the season and he's lived up to expectations tossing 11 touchdowns and rushed for another 4. Take the home underdog in this nationally televised Thursday college football.
