As Tulane kicked off its fall football practices Wednesday (Aug. 1), coach Willie Fritz said one thing was clear.
"I know we're stronger. In the weight room, you're able to look at that by comparing the numbers. We're a stronger team, and I think we're a faster team. We ran 40s a couple weeks ago and had some really good times. We've definitely developed these guys physically."
Another thing that stood out in Year 3 of Fritz's tenure is the roster or especially an increase in numbers. For the past two seasons, the Green Wave had to tailor practices to cover for a lack of bodies, but that was not the case on Wednesday.
