Offensive-line rebuild remains a major problem

Protection and blocking remain unsettled, though midpoint coverage describes line play as uneven but improving. Against Memphis, Tulane committed seven penalties and Gresham Perry was removed during the game; John Bock and Perry remain part of the reshuffle, with Jah’rie Garner’s return potentially affecting the alignment. Elijah Back remains absent and Antwan Parham unavailable.
