"Nobody will think we can win, and we'll be the underdog on the road," UTSA coach Jeff Traylor said. "Looking forward to that."

UTSA has the better overall numbers, and an extra day of rest/preparation, but will be on the road.  I think these two teams are pretty even, and UTSA is actually the better team since Frank Harris returned healthy at QB.  To me he will be the best player on the field Friday, a mobile QB, an offense that plays with pace will give the stout Tulane defense issues as they are 21st in tempo in the country.  Tulane has a great QB in Pratt as well, but this team even at 10-1 has under achieved all year.  They rank 106th in success rate pass defense, 103rd in rushing success rate, which are two huge holes to fill against a great team like UTSA that was used to fighting for conference championships.  The teams are even, the coaches are even, and I think it sets up for a close game decided by a field goal.
