Tulane evaluates quarterback options following opening loss to Duke
Summary

Tulane opened the season with a 17-3 loss to the Duke Blue Devils at home. Zeon Chriss-Gremillion started the game but struggled to move the offense, completing 6-of-9 passes for 64 yards. Kadin Semonza entered as a reserve and threw for a team-high 140 yards on 11-of-21 passing, though he faced issues with accuracy and mobility. The coaching staff faces a decision on the starting role ahead of the upcoming game against the South Alabama Jaguars. Jamauri McClure remains a factor for the backfield rotation after missing the season opener with a preseason injury. If the veteran signal-callers continue to underperform in the coming weeks, the program could potentially look toward freshman Trace Johnson for playing time.
