Tulane Football Preview 2025: Green Wave Season Prediction, Win Total Projection, Top Players
Tulane Green Wave Key to the Season Don't forget about the rushing Tulane offense under this coaching staff wants to get the attack moving through the air, but when the ground game worked, the team won. The Green Wave were 9-0 when getting to 198 yards or more, and 0-5 when running for 154 yards or fewer. As long as the O is averaging over 4.5 yards per carry, it'll be doing its job. So … Tulane Green Wave Key Player Arnold Barnes III, RB of the attention will be on the quarterback situation, but that will be fine. Replacing Makhi Hughes will be the problem, losing two years of 2,779 yards and 22 touchdowns of rushing production. Barnes is a nice back who's been waiting for his turn, and he'll get it coming off a 402-yard, six-touchdown season with a receiving score.- 2025 Tulane Offense, Defense Preview Tulane Green Wave Top Transfer, Biggest Transfer Loss Top Transfer In: Kadin Semonza, QB a 5-11, 196-pound baller of a passer who slung it around for over 2,900 yards and 25 touchdowns and ten picks last year for Ball State. He's accurate, can push the ball all over the field, and he should shine behind a line that will give him more time to work. Don't be stunned when he cranks out more production than …Top Transfer Out: Darian Mensah, QB isn't just that he's a good passer with a world of upside, it's that he's seen as a quarterback to build an offense around for the next few years. Duke is paying him to be the franchise guy, and he's got the 6-3 size and maturity to handle the gig. Tulane Green Wave Key Game at Memphis, Nov. 7With all due respect to the love given to Army and Navy going into the season, Memphis and Tulane have the talent and star power to potentially meet for the AAC title. The Tigers won last year, and it didn't matter - Tulane was off to the AAC Championship the following week. It's been a dead-even fight over the last several years, and this time around, it's at Memphis to open up November.- 2025 Tulane Schedule Breakdown Tulane Green Wave Top 10 Players 1.

This year, forget about the date at Ole Miss, but they can get by Duke if everything breaks then, like last year, they'll rip through the AAC schedule, at least most of it. It'll be a fight to get past Memphis on the road, but it'll take an upset for anyone else in the conference to pull off a win against this bunch. Making things better, there's no Navy to deal with, not playing USF is a big deal, and North Texas is just dangerous enough to be a problem for everyone The Tulane Win Total At … 9Likely Wins: Charlotte, East Carolina, Florida Atlantic, at Temple, at Tulsa50/50 Games: Army, Duke, at Memphis, Northwestern, at South Alabama, at UTSALikely Losses: at Ole Miss- 2025 Tulane Offense, Defense Preview © 2025 The Arena Group Holdings, Inc.
