Three observations from Wednesday’s practice:

1Junior Diaz, a freshman who enrolled at Tulane in January and practiced during the spring, has moved up to the second unit at center. Johnson said Diaz, a three-star recruit according to Rivals.com, was improving rapidly.

2Freshman running back Dontrell Hilliard drew hollers from his offensive teammates after knocking linebacker Eric Thomas to the ground in a one-on-one pass protection drill.

3With starting cornerbacks Lorenzo Doss and Taurean Nixon sitting out because of injury, true freshman Donnie Lewis Jr. and sophomore Richard Allen were the first-team corners.

Only the Boomer would know who those strange names belong to.

Yes 3pm on 9/13. It's gonna be hot so make sure you get yourself in shape before the game. You can't wait until the week of the game and expect yourself to be in game shape.

It's not Louisiana-Lafayette, it's Louisiana-New Orleans, aka Tulane University of Louisiana. Seems like somebody should edit these before publishing.
