'A whole different team:' Tulane expects more scoring this time against Wake Forest

The last time Tulane and Wake Forest met in 2016, it was a defensive struggle that ended in a 7-3 road loss for the Green Wave.

This year's season opener promises to be a little different.

"They've got a very explosive offense, a whole different team," Tulane coach Willie Fritz said Monday (Aug. 27). "We're a lot different than when we played them back in 2016.

"We're probably going to get 80, 90 plays from them on Thursday evening. We feel like we're a lot better offensively right now than we were a couple of years ago too.
