Heading into fall camp, one of the big questions surrounding the Tulane football program was who will be the starting quarterback for the season opener against Wake Forest?
The Green Wave appeared to be set for the next two years after Tanner Lee played in 19 games over the past two seasons, but the upcoming junior decided to transfer after Willie Fritz was hired to be the new head coach. He cited the option style attack as a primary reason, and moved on to Nebraska.
This left a pretty big gap for Fritz to fill in his first season, with three quarterbacks who have never thrown a pass in a collegiate game.
