There's no doubt that senior quarterback Jonathan Banks is better prepared for the 2018 season than a year ago. There's no reason to think he can't continue to lead this offense at the impressive pace it showed in the final three games of the 2017 season.
Tulane's offense averaged nearly 450 yards per game over that period and threw the ball an average of 25 times each game. Banks completed 61.8 percent of his passes over that stretch. In short, the offense was balanced, and that should continue this fall.
But, Banks has to stay healthy and avoid injuries like the one he suffered against Navy last season that lingered for months.
