Tulane athletic director criticizes football team after 50-point loss

Tulane athletic director David Harris expressed embarrassment and called the football program's performance “alarming” following a 60-10 loss to Tulsa during homecoming weekend. Harris stated the defeat was unacceptable and fell far below the university's recent standards.

The loss brings Tulane to a 4-5 overall record and 2-3 in the American Conference. Head coach Will Hall acknowledged the poor execution and stated that the situation is “fixable,” noting that responsibility for the improvement starts with him. He did not indicate whether any coaching staff changes would be made.

Tulsa led 46-0 before Tulane scored a field goal and a late touchdown in the fourth quarter. The Green Wave defense allowed 562 yards of offense during the game.
