No Pratt, no problem: Ole Miss’ slow first half vs. Tulane elicits fan reaction on social media
By Ethan Stone
Published:
Tulane is beating Ole Miss 17-10 at the halftime break. Without Michael Pratt.
That’s not ideal for the Rebels, who blasted Mercer 73-7 last week and entered Week 2 looking to match. But iffy play from the offensive line, as well as an early injury to standout WR Tre Harris, has slowed the Rebels’ progress thus far.
And Tulane backup Kai Horton is playing very well early. He’s not doing anything crazy, but he’s led his offense well, throwing for 112 yards and a touchdown with no interceptions. The Green Wave has rushed for 68 yards and a touchdown so far.
But the Tulane defense is outplaying their offense. The Green Wave have made life difficult for Dart after the first drive, and Ole Miss’ O-line isn’t doing a great job of creating holes for Quinshon Judkins.
Tulane already has 2 sacks and 5 tackles for loss.

Tulane leads Ole Miss by two scores with its backup QB. Remarkable.

Of course. How is Ole Miss expected to complete with Tulane’s massive NIL bags https://t.co/w8DbqUne3L

all you need to know about Willie Fritz is that he’s playing without his Cotton Bowl-winning senior QB, and oh well, the backup is skewering Ole Miss

This offensive line is going to single-handedly lose us 4 games
