Tulane QB Michael Pratt thrived vs Alex Grinch’s defense one year ago; rematch is next

Tulane quarterback Michael Pratt has faced an Alex Grinch defense before. He has gone up against a Lincoln Riley team before.

It was September 4, 2021. Tulane paid a visit to Oklahoma in a game originally scheduled to be hosted by the Green Wave in New Orleans. The location was moved at the last minute because of a hurricane. Tulane wasn’t ultimately bothered by the location change. The Green Wave trailed by five points and had 4th and 1 in Oklahoma territory in the final minutes before failing to convert that short-yardage situation. Oklahoma held on for a tenuous and not-very-convincing 40-35 win. Tulane QB Michael Pratt was a big reason the Green Wave almost toppled Alex Grinch and Lincoln Riley.
