The pain was still fresh Tuesday as Tulane held its first practice since a heartbreaking 17-16 homecoming loss to Cincinnati, but coach Willie Fritz said his players didn't hang their heads.
"Offensively, we showed some flashes, but we just weren't consistent enough," Fritz said. "We had to settle for some field goals instead of touchdowns. We had a good practice today. The guys bounced back. The only thing we know is to keep sawing wood, and everybody did a good job in that regard."
It's been a rough four-game stretch for Tulane (3-6, 1-4). The Wave defense hasn't recorded a sack in a month while the unit has given up an average of 489 yards per game during the losing streak.
