Tulane looks to embrace big stage against Ohio State

There's little doubt that Saturday's 2:30 p.m. kickoff at Ohio State will provide the biggest stage for Tulane this season.

Ohio Stadium holds 102,092 fans. Thus far this season, the largest crowd the Green Wave has played in front of is just under 22,000.

But Fritz's teams have shown that they can hang with larger schools at least for a while. The Green Wave led Oklahoma early last year without the services of senior quarterback Jonathan Banks, senior free safety Roderic Teamer or redshirt senior defensive lineman Robert Kennedy.

All three missed last year's Oklahoma game due to injury, but Fritz said having those senior leaders healthy could be a difference maker on another big stage.
