Tulane’s Defense went from 76th in the nation in total defense in 2015 up to 30th in 2016. Can the defense continue the upward trend?
For the last four years Tulane’s front seven, really front six due to the Green Wave’s 4-2-5 alignment, has had to rely on Nico Marley and Tanzel Smart. But those two, both two time All-AAC selections, have exhausted their eligibility. Who does the Green Wave turn to for playmakers and leadership going into the 2017 season?
Tulane may have lost two starters from last year’s front six, but everyone else returns.
