No. 20 Green Wave ride dominant defense, record-setting special teams performance, and Jake Retzlaff’s dual-threat leadership to clinch back-to-back AAC championships and await playoff seeding.
NEW ORLEANS | The Tulane Green Wave proved once again why they’ve become one of the nation's most resilient and ascending programs. Behind a decisive defensive surge, timely quarterback play from Jake Retzlaff, and a historic night from kicker Patrick Durkin, No. 20 Tulane (11–2) defeated No. 24 North Texas (11–2), 34–21, on Friday night at Yulman Stadium to capture its second consecutive American Conference Championship.
The win secured Tulane’s place among the nation’s most consistent programs and positioned the Green Wave for a strong showing when College Football Playoff first-round seedings are revealed on Sunday.
