While Tulane may not be the team that bested Kansas State two weeks ago, the Green Wave are a formidable squad that has a lot working in their favor as they begin conference play.
Houston started the year as a nationally-ranked team, but the Cougars have fallen far from that point over the first four weeks of the season. After an overtime win over the UTSA Roadrunners, Houston suffered back-to-back losses. Last week, the Cougars barely survived in a 34-27 win over the Rice Owls, the level of team we’ve become accustomed to seeing Houston crush early in the season.
They also struggled with injuries against Rice, and not all of those will clear up before the Tulane game. Notably, defensive end Derek Parish is out for the remainder of his senior season with a torn bicep. Parish had already recorded five sacks for Houston this year, already equaling his total from 2021. Houston’s strength on defense has been its pass rush, and that will take a clear hit without Parish in the lineup.
Tulane isn’t as good as the team that beat Kansas State, but also isn’t as bad as the team that lost to Southern Miss. The overall profile of the Green Wave — somewhere in the middle of those two results — still shows a solid team and one that has performed far above its preseason expectations. has already thrown seven touchdowns for Tulane this year and is also a threat on the ground, having run for 197 yards in four games.
