Overview

  • BYU transfer Jake Retzlaff accounted for 265 yards in his Tulane debut, throwing a touchdown and breaking free for a 69-yard scoring run.
  • Tulane’s defense seized control with five takeaways, turning the first three interceptions into 17 points to build a 20-3 halftime lead.
  • Northwestern quarterback Preston Stone threw a career-high four interceptions and lost a late fumble as the Wildcats allowed three sacks and rushed for just 76 yards.
  • The Green Wave outgained the Wildcats 420-237 with a 268-76 edge on the ground, closing out their opening win comfortably in New Orleans.
  • Sumrall said Northwestern disrespected New Orleans by refusing a white-jersey tribute; Northwestern-linked sources say Tulane’s request arrived on Aug. 17 after uniforms were set, as Tulane marked the anniversary with blank green helmets.
