Darian Mensah QB vs. DJ Lagway QB
Darian Mensah of Tulane has come on strong, passing for 65 abysmal yards per game, on a 65.9 completion percentage, and 2723 yourself when you can. With the number of 22 touchdowns under his name, his coolness in decisive moments stresses the fact that shines the most which is his capability to guide the offense.

Tulane recently lost to Memphis which ended a four-game winning streak and was a disappointing moment. With that being said, Hughes has impressively recorded 1,372 yards and 15 touchdowns for a running back. Williams has 940 receiving yards while adding big-play potential. In order for Tulane to be victorious, they need to get past their SEC opponents and utilize Hughes’ running game to their advantage.

Florida comes into the game with momentum as they have prevailed in their last three games, including an emphatic victory of 31-11 over Florida State. Backing up such a performance is running back Jadan Baugh, who has amassed 603 rushing yards, and Elijhah Badger, who has explosive ability to stretch the fields. At the same time the Gators’ defense is a little worrying, but their chances attack is effective when they are expected to win.
