The Tulane Green Wave will face the Rutgers Scarlet Knights for their season opener in New Orleans, LA. Tulane will bring their new Pro Style offense in to face a defense that was ranked 8th passing yards last year only allowing 172.5 yards per game. The Green Wave are 20 point underdogs and, to have any hopes of winning or not losing by that number, they will have to get Robert Griffin and Orleans Darkwa going early in the game. If Rutgers can figure out a way to get an early lead and keep Darkwa honest, then a 20 point victory will be pretty obtainable.

Tulane will be offering discounted tickets ($5 Adults, $3 Kids) for a game that will feature two new exciting coaches leading their teams to battle for the first time.

My Pick, Rutgers 31-24. Tulane won
