Is this game going to be televised ?
CBS sports channel if you have it in your cable package.
I think you can watch it on the cbs all access app for Roku, etc. They have a 7 day free trial.

To stop it, more than plugging the fullback is that you need speed and athleticism on both edges. One to takeaway the pitch and one to hit the q.v. no matter what he does.
Historically, we have done the last part well against navy. We have pummeled the qb.

Wake may have pummeled the quarterback but that is irrelevant if the simplest part of the triple option, the FB up the middle, is working. That has to be stopped for the outside stuff to matter that much.
If they really run a triple option, and not some other option variety, then the FB will be key either way. They wouldn't run it if it weren't effective for them.
I'm not sure if Tulane does this much, but I would think the next progression of this option attack is to add the passing option in to turn the triple option into an RPO with 2 pass options. You'd have RB inside handoff, QB keep, play-side WR (WR1) running a mid-range route, and the WR in motion (WR2) being either the pitch man or the swing pass check down. It puts a lot of pressure on the play-side CB/Safety to cover teh QB and both WR, especially if they run it strong side, where the TE can remove the LB from the play with a route.
Bingo. This is exactly what I'm worried about. I think we stuff the run, but I bet they use a lot of distraction to put us to sleep before airing it out all over the field. Hope I'm wrong. Still think DB and Safety are our weakest links on either side of the ball...
Mike Ehrmantraut at QB.
lol??? On Ehrmantraut.
Senior Jonathan Banks is listed as starting QB and rFr Dane Ledford is backup. Wildcard is grad transfer Justin McMillan who just arrived from LSU.
DB? No.
