Tulane hosts Grambling Saturday at Yulman Stadium in the first-ever meeting between the two schools. Follow along here for in-game updates and commentary throughout the game.
It's also a first for new Green Wave quarterback Jonathan Banks, who will make his first start and hopes to ignite an offense that averaged just 18.5 points in eight American Athletic Conference games last year.
He'll be facing a Grambling defense that registered 48 sacks last season and forced 30 turnovers in 13 games.
This season, the Tigers are ranked No. 21 in the FCS coaches poll and return several offensive pieces, including SWAC Preseason Offensive Player of the Year Devante Kincade.
