Tulane University football 2026 season

Overview

Tulane University’s football program entered the 2026 season with a 1-2 record under new head coach Will Hall, following the departure of former coach Jon Sumrall. The team faced scrutiny regarding defensive performance and tackling before preparing for the ‘Battle for the Bell’ rivalry game against Southern Miss.

Tulane secured a 24-21 comeback victory against Southern Miss at Yulman Stadium. Despite trailing 21-14 entering the fourth quarter, the Green Wave won following a mid-game quarterback change to Trace Johnson and a 74-yard touchdown run by Maurice Turner. A blocked field goal late in the game finalized the win, improving Tulane’s record to 2-2.
