BYU transfer Jake Retzlaff has lifted the team up on his shoulder and helped put them in a better place. He has accounted for nearly 3,000 yards and 26 total touchdowns.
For Tulane, it’s simple for this week. Win, wait, and watch. If things break the right way, they’ll make history as an AAC team in the playoff. If not, the dream ends with a win waiting for confirmation.
