Same old Tulane.
Defense wins games. Our defense played well enough for us to win. FAU's did not--at all!!nowave wrote:fau put up 326 yards on navy last week and we only managed 262. i thought willie was supposed to be some offensive whiz?
Brantley didn't feel them out. He got it done right away. He makes better decisions in the option. It was obvious. Banks has the better passing game. We need more balance between the run and pass to win in this league.GreenPuddleSplash wrote:TPS that's not fair to Banks. Banks/offense was still feeling out Navy at the early period.

Brantley did play well. Defensive front 7 did a good job most of the day. I thought Luke Jackson did well and made a big strip on the qb.tpstulane wrote:Brantley didn't feel them out.

Plain and simple we didn't lose because Banks went down. Brantley did a great job replacing him.
we werent exactly moving the chains with banks at the helm. something like 60 yards across four series. and keep in mind that six our points came from our defense. im not sold on fritzs offenseGreenPuddleSplash wrote:Well, a lot of it has to do with your starting qb going down very early in the game.nowave wrote:fau put up 326 yards on navy last week and we only managed 262. i thought willie was supposed to be some offensive whiz?
No question. Need to try to throw a little at least to keep the other team honest.winwave wrote:As to Brantley the staff has to be more open to letting him pass. He has improved there. The staff is too risk averse. We have to open it up some.
This. I also think once Fritz' lineman start to develop we will really start seeing dividends. Our line was all over the place today. They couldn't pass protect and at times had trouble with the run and then they started run blocking like madmen for a couple of drives. We need more Corey Dublins.oliveandblue wrote:They are getting better. Ten years ago we didn't even compete. Fritz made some mistakes, but if he beats Army then six wins remains on the table.
I think we underestimate how far in the tank Tulane football really was. A lot went wrong and we only lost by 15 fewer points than two years ago.
We were on FIU's level not that long ago.
And, oh, by the way; Final: Tulsa 66, ULALA 42. Tulsa will be a very winnable game for us.Aberzombie1892 wrote:It's too soon to tell how good Tulane is as this point. Tulane's first game against a non-Oklahoma, non-triple option team (Tulsa) should provide clarity.
Oh it's obvious you are not a cheerleader. Your constant negativity is tiresome and boring. If you don't like Tulane, follow someone else.Show Me wrote:Brantley was very good. He came in and gave the team a big lift. He's improved a lot from last year. If he could only develop his passing game. No way in hell can anyone blame this loss on Banks going down. This is what Tulane does every year. We have a pivotal game that's there for the taking a we fail to take advantage of it. Navy was very beatable today and we blow it.
Show Me otherwise. That's why I'm not a cheerleader I've been disappointed time and time again.
Losing will tend to do that. I'm not negative only pointing out the negative. I wish it were otherwise. Just gets old losing this type of game year after year.anEngineer wrote:Oh it's obvious you are not a cheerleader. Your constant negativity is tiresome and boring.

Unlikely. I don't see how we keep up with their offense. Houston is probably a better matchup for us. Right now I think the path to 6-6 runs through Army, FIU, ECU, and two of SMU/UH/Cincinnati.Wave755 wrote:And, oh, by the way; Final: Tulsa 66, ULALA 42.
