In his final season with the Green Wave, linebacker Tyler Grubbs recorded a team best 67 tackles, a forced fumble, three sacks, and two interceptions. Essentially, Grubbs was a nightmare to deal with for opposing teams. The season before, his first year with Tulane, Grubbs had 85 tackles and three sacks.
