That is the most comprehensive and in-depth analysis of a Tulane football team that I have ever read. I tip my cap to the author.


God Bless Everyone!

This is really good stuff. According to the projected S&P, Tulane has a 50% or greater chance of defeating Grambling, FIU and Army, and Tulane's smallest chances of victory are Oklahoma, Memphis, Houston, Navy, and USF (all 30% chance of winning or under).

This is a very well written article and very in-depth analysis of Tulane football in general and last season specifically. The only fault I have with the W-L prediction is that it is entirely based upon last year's performances. As most of us know, every season is a different experience. No team is the same as it was a year before, and things change. Sometimes the changes are dramatic, other times they're very subtle. But just like pre-season rankings, pre-season forecasts are garbage once the games start being played.

I agree, but, considering how the spring game went, 6 wins may be a dream scenario instead of a target scenario.

Agreed. The spring game did nothing to give confidence we'll be better. But we have to be better in the second year of Fritz and his system.

Except Rutgers didn't join the B1G until 2014, when they crushed us in Piscataway, NJ, 31-6.
