Michael Pratt, QB
While the modern offense asks quarterbacks to throw for more than 180 yards per game, it’s difficult to discount what Michael Pratt accomplished last season. His 20 touchdown passes were the most among any true freshman in the country, and his eight rushing touchdowns were second on the team.
The Green Wave like what they’ve found in the young quarterback and believe new offensive coordinator Chip Long can maximize his potential. Tulane lost four one-possession games last year, a trend Pratt could help them buck in 2021.
The Sooners are no strangers to dual-threat quarterbacks. However, Pratt’s legs are something defensive coordinator Alex Grinch must account for this weekend.
