00:02 - Zeno, another ranked versus ranked matchup
00:05 featuring an SEC team this weekend in New Orleans.
00:09 It's Tulane and Ole Miss.
00:11 The Green Wave, a full touchdown dog,
00:14 getting seven points against the running rebs.
00:17 Ole Miss ranked 20th in the country, Tulane is 24th.
00:20 Zeno, what is the key that will decide the outcome
00:23 of this football game on Saturday?
00:26 - Boy, this looks like it's gonna be a really fun game
00:28 with a lot of points scored, doesn't it?
00:29 I mean, that's kind of what it indicates.
00:31 Here's the thing though.
00:32 Look, I was on South Alabama against Tulane in week one.
00:36 And you know, you found out that the idea
00:38 that they lost Tajay Spears
00:40 and a couple of key players on defense
00:42 didn't really show up
00:43 because they were playing South Alabama.
00:45 That's no disrespect to South Alabama,
00:46 that's a good program, but--
00:47 - Good defense though, yeah.
00:49 - Those things are going to show up this week.
00:52 I would love to get a six and a half.
00:55 I don't think it's gonna happen,
00:56 but the public seems to like Tulane a little bit more
00:58 than I thought they would in this spot.
01:01 But still, I mean, the idea that they're gonna have
01:04 the same measure of offensive success,
01:06 and it wasn't that great measure of offensive success.
01:09 They only scored 37 against South Alabama.
01:12 So I would look at this and go,
01:14 I think Tulane gets a little bit exposed here.
01:17 And we find out that guess what?
01:19 You know, the Ole Miss offense and Lane Kiffin
01:22 are still one of the top premier offenses in the country.
01:26 And they've got weapons beyond weapons
01:27 with Quenshawn Judson, Jackson Dart,
01:29 and a whole bunch of other players on the field
01:31 that are just gonna, I really think outclass Tulane.
01:33 People are gonna go back to last year's bowl game
01:35 against USC, I get it, but you know what?
01:38 That was last year.
01:39 I'm not gonna bring that game into this
01:40 because it doesn't really equate.
01:42 Again, no Tajay Spears, several players
01:44 on the defensive side of the ball going.
01:46 I like Ole Miss in the spot.
