Tulane opens fall camp with a wave of optimism – and a bold prediction from one of its best players, one he says will break the internet.
Saints rookie offensive tackle Trevor Penning is ready to bust some heads, but there's only so many extra-curricular activities Dennis Allen will tolerate.

Is Trevor Penning's aggressiveness a liability – or is it much to ado about nothing?
