Stats never tell the full story in college football, but a lot of time, the final stats of the season can show a lot about which players are stepping up and which need to work on some things.
The Tulane Green Wave seemed to see different players step up to the occasion as the season went on, with newcomers taking charge by the end of the year. Some players were steady and reliable throughout the season, others had flashes of greatness that can be built upon in the future.
Here's a look at which players led the way in every stat category imaginable -- or at least, those realistic ones that could be found -- with a minimum of 30 snaps played at their respective position throughout the season.
