NEW ORLEANS (AP) — With six sacks in five games, Tulane’s defense knows its pass rush isn’t cutting it, especially for what lies ahead.
A lack of pressure has hurt the Green Wave’s defense throughout the first five games. It couldn’t have been more evident than against Marshall in a 31-10 setback Saturday at the Superdome, as Thundering Herd quarterback Brian Anderson completed 82 percent of his passes in tripping up Tulane.
it’s difficult enough to fluster Houston quarterback Case Keenum, one of the most prolific quarterbacks in the nation the past two seasons. Sacks may still come at a minimum against the 23rd-ranked Cougars on Saturday at the Superdome, but Tulane Coach Bob Toledo said the top adjustment the Green Wave needs to make is to have a more ramped-up pass rush.
