Star quarterback Austin Simmons anticipated to rejoin No. 13 Ole Miss for their game against Tulane
Tulane Green Wave Set to Face Off Against Ole Miss Rebels
The Tulane Green Wave (3-0) are gearing up for a highly anticipated match against the Ole Miss Rebels (3-0) on Saturday in Oxford, Mississippi. This game presents a significant opportunity and a formidable challenge for Tulane as they look to measure themselves against one of the Southeastern Conference's top teams.
Head coach Jon Sumrall has expressed that he considers Ole Miss to be one of the best teams Tulane will face this season. The Rebels, currently ranked No. 13, have been in impressive form, winning all their games so far.
For Tulane, the game against Ole Miss could potentially catapult them into early-season contention for a College Football Playoff berth from the Group of 5. A victory against the Rebels would undoubtedly make a strong statement about their capabilities.
Quarterback Jake Retzlaff, who transferred to Tulane from BYU in July, has been a key player in the Green Wave's success. He has led Tulane to victories against Northwestern, South Alabama, and Duke, and his performance against Duke was particularly noteworthy. Retzlaff completed 15 of 23 passes for 245 yards and ran for 111 yards and a school quarterback record four touchdowns.
In the absence of Retzlaff due to an injury, Trinidad Chambliss stepped up, playing two games and securing wins against Kentucky and Arkansas. Chambliss made a significant impact in the Arkansas game, running for two touchdowns and passing for another.
Ole Miss quarterback Austin Simmons, who aggravated an ankle injury during a game against Arkansas, is expected to return for the match against Tulane. Simmons had a mixed performance in the Arkansas game, throwing two early interceptions that helped the Razorbacks to a 10-0 lead. However, he rallied the team to victory, throwing a 4-yard touchdown in his brief cameo in the game.
Lacy, Ole Miss' running back, has been in impressive form, with five touchdowns and two 100-yard rushing games to his name. This could present a significant challenge for Tulane's defence.
Lane Kiffin, the Rebels' head coach, has expressed his expectation that Simmons will be the starting quarterback against Tulane. This news will undoubtedly add an extra layer of excitement to the already highly anticipated match.
For Tulane, the game against Ole Miss is a significant test of their mettle. A victory against the Rebels would undoubtedly boost their confidence and cement their place as a force to be reckoned with in the college football scene.
