It's no secret that Tulane's gridiron success this season will depend heavily on the play of senior quarterback Jonathan Banks.
As Banks enters his second season with the Green Wave, he said the real X-factor could be team unity.
"Going into last season, I really didn't know much," Banks said. "I really didn't know many people. This year, I feel like I know everybody, and everybody is comfortable together. The offensive line has a tighter bond. When you get to bond off the field, you can take it to another level on the field. Our offense should be able to move at a faster pace.
