NAVY KEY: JUMP TO AN EARLY LEAD
Tulane has fallen behind by a big margin in all four of its losses. The Green Wave trailed at halftime by 13 points or more versus Duke, Georgia Tech, Temple and Houston. Having to play catch-up has taken Tulane out of its game plan a bit and led to a lack of offensive balance. If the Mids can take an early lead and force the Green Wave to throw the ball more it would put pressure on quarterback Tanner Lee, who sat out last weekend's game with a concussion.
