UTSA Stuns Tulane 48-26 Behind Near-Perfect Owen McCown in AAC Shake-Up

The upset dents Tulane's league standing, weakening its path to the Group of 5 CFP berth.

Overview

  • Owen McCown completed 31 of 33 passes for 370 yards and four touchdowns as UTSA moved to 4-4 overall and 2-2 in the AAC.
  • UTSA ripped off 31 unanswered points in the first half after Tulane’s opening touchdown, with David Amador II and Devin McCuin each scoring twice.
  • Tulane turned it over four times, with quarterback Jake Retzlaff throwing two interceptions before being benched, dropping the Green Wave to 6-2 and 3-1 in league play.
  • The win extended UTSA’s long unbeaten streak in regular-season conference home games under coach Jeff Traylor and snapped Tulane’s three-game run.
  • Afterward, Traylor said his team felt “extremely disrespected” following Jon Sumrall’s crowd-noise comments and Retzlaff’s pregame remarks, and both teams now face key road tests next week at South Florida and at Memphis.
