This one lingered for a bit, to the point where it weighed on Jonathan Banks longer than a week. He needed to stop second-guessing himself. He needed to make quicker decisions with the football.
So the Tulane quarterback did just that in an unexpected win last week against Memphis.
Now, with another game against an American Athletic Conference frontrunner, the Green Wave (2-3 overall, 1-0 AAC) will need more of the same from their fifth-year senior passer Saturday at Cincinnati (5-0, 1-0).
"I just realized I got to get the ball out quicker," Banks said about the approach he took last week into Tulane's 40-24 win against Memphis.
