Tulane vs South Alabama Prediction

South Alabama didn’t look all that convincing against Morgan State and is still breaking in new players at key positions. Tulane has far less question marks on both sides of the ball and made light work of a Big Ten team, even if Northwestern has taken a step backwards the last couple of years. If Morgan State could run the ball against South Alabama the way it did, I can only imagine what a playmaker like Retzlaff can do. Tulane is a legit contender in the AAC and should make for two straight comfortable wins to start the 2025 season.
