Tulane started 7, 9, 7, 8, 11 and 10 Whites since '06. That number drops to 8 this year with the new addiction of a black had coach, who had no head coaching experience, not even experience as a coordinator. He was the wide receivers coach for New Orleans. He is the one who probably told the higher ups that guys like Mike Hass weren't cutting it while letting guys like Lance Moore stay. Tulane had a shot to get Mike Leach long before Washington State was interested but decided against it. The combo of Leach and White receivers on the roster would have turned this team around, now they will continue to be a 2 to 3 win team. Hopefully they have some decent assistant coaches so Hooser can put up some nice stats.

Some reserves that many see playing time:
86 WR Comardelle, Brent 6-0 191
75 OT Uzdavinis, Arturo 6-6 292 FR
64 C Henry, Mike 6-5 306 JR
70 OT Donnelly, Sean 6-8 311 SO
83 TE Tatford, Evan 6-5 236 SO
59 LB Oppman, Ray 6-2 220 SO
57 LB Davis, Zach 6-0 220 JR
35 S Scofield, Sam 6-1 180 SO
6 FB Bullock, Taylor 6-2 225 SO
(has a good chance of starting later as the listed starter is 209 pounds)
17 CB Lauricella, Alex 5-11 187 SR (Amazing he lost his starting spot to a black true freshman when he has been great every time he has played healthy, even good with minor injuries). This is a guy with elite speed, have seen him close up and definitely not "stiff hipped"

Starters

11 Qb Ryan Griffin 6-5 218 RS SR

9 WR Wilson Van Hooser, 194 RSJR

88 TE Matt Marfisi 6-6 250 SO

76 LT Nate Skold 6-6 298 FR

74 LG Adam Skidmore 6-6 300 SO

65 C Zach Morgan 6-3 305 SR

72 RG Rio Mares 6-5 305 JR

79 RT Eric Jones 6-6 308 SR

Defense:
Zero

I would not be surprised if Walker ( Fudge ) Van Hooser, the super speedy true freshman wr and brother of Wilson might get some playing time late in the season. The kid is 6'3" with a strong frame and legit 10.6 100 meter speed.
