After a positive start to the season, Tulane has lost each of its last four games and faces another tough conference test when it travels to TDECU Stadium on Saturday to take on defending American Athletic Conference champion Houston.
The Green Wave (3-6, 0-5 in AAC) are coming off a discouraging 37-6 loss to UCF last week that included five second-half turnovers by quarterback Glen Cuiellette, including three that went back for touchdowns by the Knights defense.
Tulane will have to find some consistency on offense this week if its hopes to score enough points to match the potent Cougars (7-2, 4-2 in AAC) attack, which is averaging 38.
