South Alabama vs Tulane

The Tulane Green Wave held off a feisty South Alabama squad 28-24 at Benson Field at Yulman Stadium in a thriller that came down to the wire. With 168 plays of back-and-forth action under the New Orleans lights, the Green Wave showed just enough grit to protect their home turf against the Jaguars in this cross-conference battle between the American and Sun Belt. South Alabama refused to go quietly, keeping the pressure on throughout and making Tulane earn every yard of this four-point victory. The Green Wave's defense stepped up when it mattered most, preserving the narrow margin and sending the home crowd home happy. This was the kind of competitive, hard-fought game that makes college football special.
