The Tulane Green Wave are preparing to host the Kansas State Wildcats in a huge non-conference matchup for both teams.
The game is a rematch of a contest two years ago in Manhattan, Kan., where Tulane upended Kansas State, 17-10. That loss put an early end to the Wildcats’ potential contention for a College Football Playoff berth, though it went on to beat TCU and win the Big 12 Championship Game.
As for Tulane, their coach, John Sumrall has been clear his Green Wave must play better after a 52-0 drubbing ofIt's a game Tulane must play well in, win or lose, because the following week they head toHere are the staff prediction for the game from the Tulane Green Wave On SI staff.I really like this matchup for the Wave. Kansas State's strength is their running backs, but I do not believe they have the offensive line to hold up against Patrick Jenkins and Adin Huntington.
If Tulane expects to win, it will have to cut down on the self-inflicted errors and penalties. A good, clean game will be the key to keeping up with Kansas State and ultimately pulling off an upset.When I covered Big 12 media days in July, I spoke to some Kansas State people that were around two years ago when Tulane pulled off that win in Manhattan. It sticks with them. The Wildcats that were around then have not forgotten about it.
I don't think they're worried about what could be stifling heat in New Orleans. I think they're going to have solutions for Tulane’s young quarterback. And I think Kansas State’s young quarterback, Avery Johnson, is going to have a solid game and get the Wildcats over the hump in what should be a raucous atmosphere at Yulman Stadium.Both teams had a warm up game against a smaller school so they should both have a little bit of confidence heading into this one.
