'Complete package:' Tulane opens conference play against Memphis, nation's leading rusher

Of all the plays Willie Fritz could have selected, he chose this one.

It wasn't one of the eight rushing touchdowns. Nor was it his one touchdown catch. Nor did he show any of the 58 carries for which he's averaging a NCAA-leading 12.2 yards per attempt.

No, the play Fritz wanted to show his Tulane coaching staff was one in which Memphis running back Darrell Henderson didn't touch the football.

"He stepped up," the third-year Tulane coach said, "and stoned a linebacker blitzing in the gap."

That's Henderson, the nation's leading rusher through four weeks in the college football season.
