Video: Tulane young guns battle it out in Green Wave’s first fall scrimmage

NEW ORLEANS — The Tulane Green Wave football team held their first fall scrimmage Saturday morning at Yulman stadium, marking their 9th day of fall camp.

The first-team offense and defense went through just a handful of “live action plays,” leaving the remainder of the scrimmage for the young guns to show off their stuff.

Fritz says he didn’t want guys playing “40-50 snaps today” so they kept it closer to a practice format.

“Kind of broke them into it a little bit. We’re a little thin at a couple of positions, so we wanted to be careful on how many plays we went. It was more like a practice than a scrimmage,” says Tulane head football coach Willie Fritz.

Tulane will hold practice tomorrow morning at Yulman Stadium.

They will be at the Ochsner Sports Performance Center in Metairie on Monday, August 15th.
