  10/03/20 - RB *Tyjae SpearsrJr/2023, Tulane

  Tulane coach Willie Fritz confirmed Thursday what everyone feared when Tyjae Spears went down early in the second quarter against Southern Miss - his star running back will be out for the rest of the season. Fritz said Spears, a redshirt freshman from Ponchatoula, had surgery Thursday morning to repair a probable anterior cruciate ligament tear in his right knee. Off to a tremendous start in the Green Wave's first three games, he was hurt at the end of his second touchdown run against the Golden Eagles, appearing to take a wrong step after being hit as he crossed the goal line. That 15-yard score gave Spears 274 yards on 37 carries (7.4 average) in barely more than nine quarters, including back-to-back 100-yard games against South Alabama and Navy. An electric, big-play threat every time he touched the ball, he already was halfway to becoming the first player with three straight 100-yard games during Fritz's tenure when his year ended abruptly. "We're losing a great, great, great player for this season," Fritz said. "He brings so much to the team besides his level of play. He's an example about how to practice and about how to prepare for a game. He does as good a job of that as anybody I've ever coached, and I've been doing this a long time. Guys are going to have to pick up the slack obviously." - New Orleans Times Picayune
