Tulane projected starting lineup and depth chart for Gasparilla Bowl | 2024-25 College football season
The Union Home Mortgage Gasparilla Bowl will pit the Tulane Green Wave against the Florida Gators at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa. Florida enters the game as a 10-point favorite while the over/under is set at 49.5. The kickoff is scheduled for 3:30 pm ET.
If not for two losses against Memphis and Army (in the AAC Championship), the Green Wave might have secured themselves a playoff spot. Former Oregon five-star signee Ty Thompson will be the starting quarterback, marking his first start in a college football game.
Let's take a look at Tulane's projected starting lineup and depth chart for the Gasparilla Bowl.
