Tulane Green Wave football season

Overview

Tulane secured a 31-17 victory over Memphis, driven by a defensive performance that forced six turnovers. This win marked the team’s first victory in the American Conference for the season, bringing their record to 3-3. Key defensive plays included a 76-yard interception return for a touchdown by TJ Smith and a late interception by Kevin Adams III. Freshman quarterback Trace Johnson made his first collegiate start, completing 11 of 21 passes for 165 yards and one touchdown.

Following this win, the team prepared for a matchup against UTSA at Yulman Stadium. Analysts suggested the Tulane defense would need to disrupt quarterback Owen McCown through consistent pressure and tight coverage. However, the UTSA Roadrunners secured their fifth consecutive victory with a 42-19 win over the Green Wave, snapping Tulane’s 10-game home winning streak. UTSA’s offense was powered by 223 rushing yards and six touchdowns, while Tulane struggled with six turnovers, falling to a 3-4 overall record and 1-2 in conference play.

Tulane is scheduled to face Charlotte on October 30, 2026, entering that contest as the betting favorite.
