What is the Tulane Green Wave’s current team ranking?

What is the Kansas State Wildcats current team ranking?

The Wildcats are currently ranked No. 15 out of 134 teams, according to CBS Sports.

When is the 2024 NCAA college football championship game?

The College Football Playoff National Championship will be Monday, January 20, 2025, at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta.

The Tulane Green Wave are going to need to rely on a different part of their offense against the Kansas State Wildcats on Saturday.

Freshly named starting quarterback Darian Mensah opened the season up with a bang against the Southeastern Louisiana Lions in week one.

Mensah went 10-for-12 for 205 yards and two touchdowns through the air, making things look easy.

The rushing attack was successful as well, but they didn’t really lean on one player in particular to get things done. They may not be afforded that same luxury against the Wildcats this time.

New Orleans has dealt with heavy showers over the past few days and that is expected to continue into game time on Saturday. With downpour, the ground game will become even more important.

That becomes even more crucial when factoring in that the team is dealing with a young quarterback. The pressure will be Mensah facing the toughest defense of his career while also dealing with the weather. Having the run game going early will make his life much easier.

Kansas State also faced a small school in their season opener, so it’s hard to gauge how good their run defense will be. They did give up just 36 yards, though.

Their run defense a year ago was ranked No. 56 in the country as they allowed 147.5 yards per game. They can be expected to be stout, but not impenetrable.

Makhi Hughes will need to have more success than he did against Southeastern Louisiana’s defensive front. Hughes walked out of that game with touchdown, but had just 59 yards on 14 attempts. That’s over a full yard less per carry than he averaged last season.

The redshirt sophomore was one of the best backs in the country a year ago and will be counted on to have the same success this year in a revamped offense.

Shaadie Clayton-Johnson returns as the lead backup, but is more of a ground-and-pound rusher rather than the elusive Hughes. Clayton-Johnson made the most of his four rushes against the Lions as he had 48 yards with a long of 28. After averaging just 3.7 yards per carry last season, he’ll hope to have more success this year.

This game will likely fall on the shoulders of Hughes, though, the lead back. There are a couple of other rushers fighting for playing time down the depth chart, but Tulane should rely on more established players in this one.

It wasn’t by as wide of a margin as it could’ve been, but the Kansas City Chiefs opened up their 2024-25 slate with a victory nonetheless.

The back-to-back Super Bowl champs are 1-0 to start the year, securing a dramatic win over the visiting Baltimore Ravens. Thanks to some timely scores and a close touchdown reversal at the end of the game, Andy Reid’s squad got the best of John Harbaugh’s group for the second time this calendar year.

Countless individual performances are worth noting – both good and bad – from the opener. With that in mind, let’s point out some of the Chiefs’ biggest winners and losers from the first week of the regular season.

The Chiefs were without Chris Jones for Week 1 last season, and his absence was evident. The pass rush struggled without him, which certainly would’ve been the case had he missed the inaugural game of the 2024 campaign as well. This time around, the All-Pro defensive tackle made an impact early with a pressure and a run stop on Baltimore’s opening possession. A forced fumble in the second quarter also set Kansas City up for a field goal. Steve Spagnuolo and company allowed Jones to hunt matchups all night and while he wasn’t perfect, he started the year with a bang.

Even with so many other talented players to compete with, there might not be a more polarizing Chief than Nick Bolton. On Thursday night, however, there seemed to be a clear majority outlook on his performance for the first time in quite a while. He didn’t make splash plays in the run game. The fourth-year linebacker was slow to react on multiple plays, also struggling to pursue the action away from his direct assignment. Isaiah Likely’s touchdown, one that saw Bolton whiff on the chance to prevent a score after a pass from Lamar Jackson, was the most obvious mishap. Bolton deserves some slack given the fact that he’s still getting his legs back under him following an elbow injury. With that said, he looked off-pace and out of place in Week 1.

The Chiefs’ first-round pick gave them immediate returns to launch the regular season. Xavier Worthy’s speed is extremely real, as evidenced by his touchdown run in the first quarter. The Texas product also had a solid snag for a first down later in the game, capping things off by making the most of a blown coverage in the fourth quarter and getting another score. While Worthy doesn’t need to get crowned as the next WR1 in Kansas City for simply running to the right spots, it’s clear that he’s a weapon. He dreamed about making an impact, which is exactly what he did against Baltimore.

Following a very strong rookie campaign, safety Chamarri Conner played some uninspiring football in the preseason. That bled into Week 1, where the former Day 3 draft pick missed multiple tackles in the first half and couldn’t come down with an interception on Baltimore’s first drive of the second half. On the Ravens’ penultimate possession, he failed to convert a tackle that would’ve been good for a stop behind the sticks. Conner’s range, closing speed and aggressiveness are all plus traits, although he’ll have to rein things in moving forward and be more efficient.

Even with Worthy in the fold, Rashee Rice picked up right where he left off last season. Looking even shiftier in his movements, the second-year man did plenty of damage over the middle of the field. Finishing with seven receptions for 103 yards, Rice logged 78 of those yards after the catch and had 60 of them against off-coverage. Given Worthy’s speed and tight end Travis Kelce’s gravity, expecting this quality of production every week is realistic. The quantity may not always be there, but Rice remains a key cog in the machine that is the Chiefs’ offense.

Right around training camp time, Spagnuolo hinted at linebacker Leo Chenal playing a few different roles on defense this year. The athletic former third-round pick had opportunities open up due to the departure of Willie Gay Jr., and he capitalized in Week 1. Chenal was excellent at containing Jackson, and a specific two-play sequence of a forced throwaway and a tackle on the next snap stood out. He also had a couple of tipped passes, a staple of the Chiefs’ front seven. Chenal, not necessarily known for his consistency, passed his first test of the year with flying colors.
