Look, it went better than it could have. Kadin is smart. Is he the most athletic QB? No. The best arm? No. But he actually did well with what he had. And he didn't have a a top notch O-line to help protect him. I don't think that would have made the game-changing difference, but it certainly wouldn't hurt. Turner did well. Defense looked worse - to be expected though. K-State is a tough opponent and they didn't embarrass Tulane. I still don't think Hall was the right pick (and failing to adapt well in the second half I think showcases some of his glaring weaknesses), but this was a marked improvement overall and I do wish TU nothing but the best going forward.

You and I are on the same page, for the most part. I'll be talking about that in my column tomorrow.

Good comments! I was thinking this may be the game to use two QBs? Chriss-G as a back up in the second half would have given them something to think about? in games where we are three touchdown underdogs something different had to be tried. I think the thing that is lacking is flexibility and variety? That being said, great to see the option being run!

That call still rubs me the wrong way. The refs seemed to forget instant replay exists for a reason.
