This is an ineresting matchup as Wake Forest of the AAC goes down to New Orleans for a true road game at Tulane, a team many think could surprise this season, the third for Willie Fritz.

Wake Forest is coming off an 8-5 season, that surprised many. It might have saved Dave Clawson’s job. They were a very good offensive team a year ago and need that continue if they are going to win 8 games again.
Wake Forest Demon Deacons
Wake was second in scoring in the ACClast season at 35ppg. This year they are going to have a new quarterback at the helm though in Kendall Hinton. He has a little experience.
He should feel very comfortable behind a line that returns all five starters. Two receivers and the strting running back return so it truly is all on Hinton to run with the opportunity.

The defense returns 6 starters but the group was not great last season and will be tested by Tulane. Being on the road is not going to help this group get off to a strong start.
Tulane Green Wave
Tulane won 5 games a year ago but lost three games by a combined 6 points as Willie Fritz is getting things turned around on the bayou.
A Fritz offense is all about balance and in Jonathan Banks he has one of the more underrated dual threat guys at the position in the country. He might throw for 3000+ yards through the air and pick up 1000+ on the ground too.

The lack of a defense is going to put a lot of pressure on the Green Wave offense. only three starters return on this side of the ball and it wasn’t an elite unit a year ago anyway.
This one looks like a shootout to me.

I like the over a lot in this spot. I see this one as being a classic where the offenses are ahead of the defenses to start the season. It could be an exciting game overall.

Look for the fireworks to begin early in this one and for us to be well on our way to the over before the end of the first half.
I really want to go with the Green Wave on the upset as they are one of my follow teams this season but I might wait til Conference plat to really start backing them hard.
