Tulane football Willie Fritz said his team is ready for the task of playing the No. 2-ranked Oklahoma Sooners this Saturday.
"We're looking forward to the challenge," he said at the Greater New Orleans Sports Foundation's Weekly Quarterback Club Luncheon on Tuesday afternoon. "We want to get Tulane to the point where we're on the national stage; that we're a program that people know about on the East Coast and West Coast. We really feel like the sky's the limit here."
Saturday will provide that national platform as the Green Wave travels to Norman, Okla., to battle the Sooners, who knocked off Ohio State, 31-16, on the road last week.
