Sheppard Shines as Tulane Stumbles | New Orleans News

Tulane’s season opener ended in a brutal 17-3 loss to Duke, with the offense sputtering and head coach Will Hall facing his toughest debut yet. The real story? Local Northshore star Nate Sheppard exploded for a career-high 227 rushing yards and two touchdowns, setting the tone early with a dominant scoring drive. Tulane’s quarterbacks struggled to find consistency, missing key opportunities and converting just 3 of 14 third downs. With only 258 total yards, the Green Wave now turn their focus to regrouping and bouncing back at home against South Alabama next week.
