Tulane Green Wave- Vegas Win Total- 6
Another tight total as Tulane has won seven games in each of the last two seasons and they reload enough key pieces to hit that mark again. The Green Wave has won bowl games in consecutive seasons for the first time in school history and this seems like a solid time to ride the momentum head coach Willie Fritz has built. A big reason for Tulane’s struggles last season was penalties; they ranked 123rd in the category, but this is typically a fixable issue and should result in more wins. Prediction- Over 6
Top Prospects:
Patrick Johnson, DE, 6-3, 250 pounds, Sr.: Johnson plays outside linebacker for the Green Wave and is a dynamic pass rusher as evidenced by his 10.5 sacks in 2018. The All-AAC performer suffered a labrum tear last season though and this resulted in a dip in production as he only recorded four sacks. Looking to come back at 100% big things are expected.
Corey Dauphine, RB, 6-0, 195 pounds, Sr.: Tulane was thrilled Dauphine was granted a sixth year of eligibility as the speedster was looking to build off his 575 rushing yards and strong eight yards per carry average from last season, but he recently tore his Achilles and will likely miss the 2020 season. He still warrants consideration though due to his exciting play.
Corey Dublin, G, 6-4, 300 pounds, Sr.: An extremely experienced interior lineman with four years of starting experience, Dublin has the size scouts are looking for and the dominant tape as an All-AAC performer to warrant a look.
