Coach Blankenship had the luxury of a 3-yr. starter at QB in Kinne last year. That helped the coach navigate through his first real test as a head coach. This year Tulsa has a new starter at QB, albeit a pretty highly rated one in Cody Green, a transfer from Nebraska. I'm always hesitant to support a team that loses a good QB who has been the starter 3 or 4 years.
It will help Blankenship that he has good running backs returning(1650 total yards rushing), two, 2nd CUSAers at the wide receiver positions and 8 returning starters on defense, including three, all-league performers.
The Golden Hurricane have a new starter at QB, and a still young coach at the helm. For that reason, Tulsa's season, despite a strong corps of returning starters, will hinge on the play of QB Cody Green, or, whoever is chosen to play that position, and how well the young coach adapts to life without a 3-yr. starter at QB.It'll be fun to see how well the QB position performs in the opening contest vs. ISU.
