Tulane Preview

Bill Snyder Family Stadium will play host to a Saturday afternoon college football clash between the Tulane Green Wave and the Kansas State Wildcats. Make sure you are ready for all the football action with our college football picks. The Green Wave (1-1) are the defending American Conference champions, but lost head coach Jon Sumrall to Florida. Tulane scored just three points in a season-opening loss at Duke, but bounced back with a 28-24 home victory versus South Alabama. 

Tulane WR Destyn Hill caught the game-winning 14-yard touchdown pass from Kadin Semonza with 74 seconds remaining. Senior RB Jaylin Lucas rushed for a career-high 214 yards and a score. Semonza finished with 212 passing yards for the Green Wave, who allowed the Jaguars to possess the ball for nearly 38 minutes.   

Kansas State Preview

The Kansas State Wildcats lost six games a season ago and hired former QB Collin Klein to bring this program back to being a Big 12 Conference championship contender. Klein, who spent the last two years as the Texas A&M offensive coordinator, will look to unlock an offense that finished near the bottom of the conference. Kansas State scored 71 points in a season-opening win versus FCS Nicholls and followed it up with an impressive 34-7 home victory against Washington State. 

Kansas State senior QB Avery Johnson completed 22 of 34 passes for 192 yards and three touchdowns. Rodney Fields Jr. staked the Wildcats to a 24-7 lead early in the third quarter with a 75-yard touchdown run. Josh Manning added ten receptions for 97 yards and a score for the Wildcats, who outgained the Cougars by a whopping 487-166 margin.

Tulane vs Kansas State Pick

Tulane RB Jamauri McClure has missed the first two games with a foot injury and his status for this contest is uncertain. Last season, Kansas State defeated Tulane by a 34-27 final score and Avery Johnson threw a pair of touchdowns. The Wildcats are stout on defense and the Green Wave have taken a step back on offense. Take the under. Final Score Prediction, Kansas State Wildcats win 30-13.
