The Tulsa Golden Hurricane already faced monstrously long odds in hoping to win at No. 4 Boise State on Saturday, but those odds will get even longer presuming that Tulsa starting QB G.J. Kinne can’t play as expected. Boise State, in its home opener, opened as a 32.5-point favorite on Bodog’s NCAA football odds.

Tulsa (1-2) enters off a 59-33 loss at Oklahoma State that didn’t start until after midnight local time because of a weather delay. And in that game, Kinne was reportedly to have suffered a Grade II MCL tear on his left knee. That should rule him out for 2-4 weeks. However, as of now the school hasn’t officially ruled him out. But look for redshirt freshman Kalen Henderson to get the start. He was 6-for-20 for 104 yards with two touchdowns and three picks against OSU. Look for an emphasis on the run vs. Boise State. Tulsa ran for 365 yards against Oklahoma State. It was the most rushing yards surrendered by the Cowboys since 2005.

Boise State (2-0) has the latest home opener of any Top 25 team. The Broncos have looked sharp thus far in beating Georgia in Atlanta and then winning 40-15 at a good Toledo team last week. QB Kellen Moore might be the Heisman favorite right now. He is completing better than 78 percent of his passes with eight touchdowns so far. No QB in the nation may be better at throwing downfield. Since the start of the 2010 season, Moore completes 60.5 percent of his throws traveling 25-plus yards in the air with 13 touchdowns and no interceptions. He could have a banner day against one of the nation’s worst passing defenses.

Boise State has won 60 straight home games against unranked opponents since falling to Washington State on Sept. 8, 2001. Tulsa hasn’t won a regular-season game vs. a non-conference ranked opponent since 1996.
