I’m still blown away at Napier’s play calling. This dude refuses to even attempt to “out scheme” anyone. Offensive is unbelievably vanilla. He better hope to get a stacked roster, that’s the only way they could be great again if he’s the coach. That said, looks like they will have a really good roster moving forward.

[@harleymorrell9910]

All that was said was you should have a year taken away from you if you transfer. That would be lame. If they wanna transfer it’s on them. That’s why ncaa football teams reduced the number of active players that can actually be on the roster

Okay, maybe it amounts to something far from any joy of victory, but for Tulane fans I'm sure their team finally getting on the board in the final seconds was relieving! Shut Tulane out we did not!

This is more of a game if Tulane's starting QB doesn't jump in the portal before this game. It's time for the NCAA to change the portal season and schedule it for either right before or after the Spring games in March and April. The season needs to be completely finished before the portal opens. That's why these bowl game matchups are garbage!
