Tulane's defense shines in annual spring game

Tulane held its annual spring game at Yulman Stadium on Saturday morning, and while it was hard to evaluate the team because it wasn't doing any live tackling, some of the strengths and weaknesses of the team were pretty evident from the start.

The Green Wave defense may have lost its two top players from last season--Nico Marley and Tanzel Smart--but they still have plenty of playmakers on that side of the ball.
