Tulane quarterback Michael Pratt was forbidden from speaking with the media this week leading up to Thursday night’s game against Houston. Pratt, after all, is now one of only seven true freshman to start at QB for the Green Wave since 1975, joining a list highlighted by guys like Terrence Jones and Shaun King. Needless to say, he probably had a lot on his mind going in because... oh yeah... the game was ESPN’s Thursday night showcase for yet another year.
Thanks to Tulane’s defense, though, Pratt had to wait a little longer to make his first career start.
