Tulane Football Concludes Fall Camp with 80-Play Scrimmage
Aug 22, 2015 | Football
NEW ORLEANS - The 2015 Tulane football camp concluded this morning with an 80-play scrimmage on Fan Day at Yulman Stadium.
Redshirt-sophomore quarterback Tanner Lee completed 77.3 percent of his attempts (17-of-22) for 111 yards and one score, while the linebacker duo of junior Nico Marley and sophomore Zachery Harris each finished with four tackles, including two stops for lost yardage.
"I thought today's scrimmage was very good even though we didn't completely bring guys down to the ground early on," Tulane head coach Curtis Johnson said. "I thought Tanner Lee was very effective and our defensive line dominated the offensive line at times. That group had a really good day, especially guys like Tanzel Smart, Sean Wilson and Royce LaFrance, and I thought the receivers looked good today as well. Now we'll turn our focus to Duke."
Redshirt-freshman safety Stephon Lofton and sophomore defensive end Daren Williams each recorded an interception while Williams and redshirt-sophomore defensive end Luke Jackson each contributed a sack.
Offensively, redshirt-junior running back Josh Rounds led the ground game with 39 yards on eight carries (4.9 avg), while sophomore receiver Teddy Veal hauled in two receptions for 39 yards. Lee, along with redshirt-senior quarterback Jordy Joseph and redshirt-freshman quarterback Glen Cuiellette all threw one touchdown pass today.
On the receiving end of those scoring tosses were redshirt-sophomore running back Sherman Badie, redshirt-junior receiver Larry Dace III and senior tight end Sydie London.
