In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast host Ryan Abraham welcomes in Tulane Green Wave sideline reporter Maddy Hudak to give USC fans some insight into the Trojans Cotton Bowl opponent. Maddy is a Tulane graduate that provides insights from the field for all of the Green Wave football games. She also covers the New Orleans Saints for The Saints Wire and is a regular on sports radio in the Crescent City.
We talk to Maddy about the incredible turnaround for Tulane, from going 2-10 last season to 11-2 this year, giving the Green Wave their first major bowl bid since 1939. Maddy talks about what head coach Willie Fritz did to reverse his team's fortunes, including making a very late offensive philosophical shift over the summer after the team didn't look as good as he wanted moving the ball in the spring.
They also talk about some of the star players for Tulane including running back Tyjae Spears who lead the Green Wave with 212 rushes for 1376 and 15 touchdowns, averaging an impressive 6.5 yards per carry. Quarterback Michael Pratt has also shined in this new offense, completing 64.5% of his passes while throwing for 2776 yards, 25 touchdowns and five interceptions. He is also the second leading rusher on the team with 10 rushing touchdowns on the ground.
