Tulane hosts South Alabama this weekend as the team attempts to secure its first victory under head coach Will Hall. The Green Wave enters the matchup after a 17-3 opening loss to the Duke Blue Devils. In response to a stagnant offensive performance during that game, the coaching staff named Kadin Semonza as the new starting quarterback. Semonza replaces Zeon Chriss-Gremillion, who started the season opener. The team also aims to improve its ground attack, which managed only 54 total yards against Duke, with Johnnie Daniels expected to handle a significant portion of the carries. Wide receiver Anthony Brown-Stephens looks for increased production after a limited outing in the season debut.
