While Tulane's offense has garnered a lot of attention early in fall practices, it's the Green Wave defense that likely will decide the fate of the upcoming season.
Tulane's defensive line is young, but that's not necessarily a bad thing when one of those young guys is 6-3, 280-pound sophomore Cameron Sample. Sample played in 11 games last season, racking up 26 tackles, including two for a loss and a pass breakup.
Sample said his unit has shown good energy thus far in camp.
"We want to be the best D-line in our conference," he said.
