TULANE GREEN WAVE NEWS

Dontae Fleming - 97 yards Saturday Fleming hauled in all four targets for 97 yards during Saturday's 34-27 defeat versus Kansas State.

Impact After receiving just a single target in Week 1, Fleming exploded with nearly 100 receiving yards on four catches. He was second on the team in yards but fourth in targets, so there's a chance this was more of a fluke performance especially considering Shazz Preston (hamstring) did not play.

Mario Williams - Another strong performance Saturday Williams logged six receptions (on eight targets) for 128 yards during Saturday's 34-27 defeat versus Kansas State.

Impact Williams was the Green Wave's leading receiver for the second straight week, accumulating 128 yards on six catches. He once again led the team in receptions, targets and yards, but still failed to find the end zone. Shazz Preston (hamstring) sat out again, so Williams' production could take a hit when the Alabama transfer returns to the field.

Makhi Hughes - Excellent versus Kansas State Hughes tallied 21 rushes for 128 yards and one touchdown and reeled in 5 of 6 targets for 37 yards during Saturday's 34-27 defeat versus Kansas State.

Impact Hughes proved himself once again to be the workhorse back for the Green Wave, accumulating 165 yards from scrimmage and one touchdown, a three-yard run in the first quarter. Even against one of the toughest opponents he will play this season Hughes put up great numbers, a very promising sign for the rest of his campaign.

Darian Mensah - Strong performance in close loss Mensah was 19-for-29 passing for 342 yards, two touchdowns and one interception during Saturday's 34-27 loss versus Kansas State. He also had eight rushes for negative nine yards.

Impact Mensah put together an impressive performance -- with the exception of a couple plays -- as he nearly lead the Green Wave to a massive upset. He threw for nearly 350 yards and tossed two touchdowns, both to Alex Bauman. His performance was not without costly mistakes though. With the game tied midway through the fourth quarter, he lost a fumble that was returned for a touchdown by the Wildcats. Then, on the final drive he threw an interception in the redzone to clinch the game for Kansas State. While it was not a perfect performance, the freshman showed massive upside and clearly has the tools to put up elite numbers when conference play begins.

Shazz Preston - Set to be out Saturday Preston (hamstring) is set to sit out Saturday's game versus Kansas State, Matt Zenitz of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact Preston missed the season opener last Saturday with a hamstring injury and that same injury will cost him another game. The Alabama transfer has yet to suit up for the Green Wave after transferring to the program in the offseason with expectations of being a top option in the offense. His next chance to play is next Saturday at Oklahoma.

Yulkeith Brown - Scores in Thursday's win Brown caught all two targets for 23 yards and one touchdown during Thursday's 52-0 win against Southeastern Louisiana.

Impact Brown scored Tulane's first touchdown of the season, an 11-yard reception in the first quarter. He was targeted just one time other than that touchdown, however the team attempted just 17 passes in the blowout win. Brown looks set to be the team's No. 3 option this season, but could see more work early in the season with Shazz Preston (hamstring) currently injured.

Impact Bauman started off his season strong, catching a 12-yard touchdown pass in the fourth quarter of Thursday's blowout victory. He scored five touchdowns last season as the team's No. 1 tight end and is off to a great start to match or exceed that total this season.

Mario Williams - 124 yards in opener Williams had four receptions (on five targets) for 124 yards during Thursday's 52-0 victory against Southeastern Louisiana.

Impact Williams had an excellent start to his Tulane career and quickly announced himself as Darian Mensah's favorite target. He led the team in receptions, targets and receiving yards, recording 98 more yards than his next closest teammate. With Shazz Preston (hamstring) out of the opener, Williams became the clear cut No. 1 option, but only time will tell how targets will be doled out when both players are on the field.

Makhi Hughes - Scores in season opener Hughes notched 14 rushes for 59 yards and one touchdown during Thursday's 52-0 victory versus Southeastern Louisiana.

Impact Hughes picked up where he left off last season, scoring a touchdown in the season opener and more than doubling any of his teammate's rushing attempts. It was not an electric day from Hughes by any means, but the team clearly did not want to overuse him in the blowout victory.

Ty Thompson - Scores twice in opener Thompson completed two of four passes for 17 yards during Thursday's 52-0 victory over Southeastern Louisiana. He also had four rushes for 23 yards with two touchdowns.

Impact While Thompson did not start Thursday's game, losing the job to Darian Mensah, he still got his chance to play and made the most of it. He scored a pair of touchdowns on the ground, the first two rushing touchdowns of his career. Based on Thursday's usage, Thompson looks set to be the team's backup quarterback, but may continue to see playing time since he is such a strong rusher.
