There are plenty of matchup keys for the 2023 Cotton Bowl between the USC Trojans and the Tulane Green Wave, but the dynamics of this matchup have changed in recent days.
We didn’t know 10 days ago how many USC players would or wouldn’t play in this game. Now we know that Andrew Vorhees and Jordan Addison will not suit up for the Trojans. How does this change the nature of the matchup with Tulane? What can the Green Wave do now that USC will be without two of its best offensive players? Which players and positional matchups become that much more important for both sides? Do these roster adjustments change the game plan or the line of attack for Tulane on defense?
We also looked at the other side of the ball and the clash between the Tulane offense and the USC defense. We evaluated key Tulane players and how they will shape the outcome, one way or another.
Steve Helwick of Underdog Dynasty provided extensive Tulane analysis and joined USC Voice of College Football postgame show co-hosts Tony Altimore, Tim Prangley, and Rick Anaya on our show.
Note: The USC postgame show at The Voice of College Football will air next Monday afternoon after the Cotton Bowl ends. Go to The Voice of College Football at YouTube and look for the link to the USC-Tulane Cotton Bowl postgame show.
