Tulane's goal vs. Navy: Nowhere to run
Tulane's Ade Aruna talks about facing Navy
Tulane's game plan for Navy is pretty simple on paper - stop the run defensively and establish it offensively.
The execution will be the tricky part when the Green Wave opens American Athletic Conference play at 2:30 p.m. Saturday in Annapolis, Maryland.
"This is a great test for us," Tulane coach Willie Fritz said. "I'm glad we had a game to get prepared and work the kinks out. This is a great opportunity. I'm really excited about it, and I know my guys are, too."
Both the Tulane offense and defense move up in weight classes after an impressive 43-14 opening weekend win against FCS opponent Grambling.
