I will have a much fuller report later, but Fritz said running back Stephon Huderson expected to play in Tuesday's game as well as Cameron Carroll. Huderson remained away from practice while grieving the loss of his dad, and Carroll has an unspecified injury that is keeping him away from contact drills. He wore a no-contact jersey today and participated when the offense went against the scout team. Christian Daniels took the first-team reps at running back in team drills, and a walk-on worked with the second team.

The status of Patrick Johnson is a little more uncertain, but Fritz said he thought Johnson would play. His father's funeral is tomorrow as Tulane players tragically had the loss of two fathers within a few days of each other.

Chris Hampton spoke today after practice after being formally announced as the defensive coordinator in the morning. He said he had gotten to town on Sunday night and began working Monday in a whirlwind sequence after coaching Duke against FSU on Saturday. He will work with the outside linebackers before the bowl game and Mike Mutz will call the defense, receiving a promotion of his own to run game coordinator for the defense. Fritz said Hampton was the only person he called when he fired Jack Curtis.

Jeffery Johnson was not at practice today. Not sure why. He was there Tuesday. Cam Sample was in a no-contaxt jersey and did not participate in any drills I saw.

Just like Tuesday, Ajani Kerr was a first-team cornerback opposition Jaylon Monroe. Willie Langham worked with the second team.

Again, I will have a full report either late tonight or early tomorrow.
