It’s the AAC regular season game of the year, perfectly preserved for the final week of action.
UTSA (8-3, 7-0 AAC) travels to Tulane (10-1, 7-0) in a battle between two of the conference’s three perfect records. The winner is automatically admitted into the AAC Championship. But the loser cannot qualify for the event if SMU defeats Navy on Saturday.
UTSA rolls into this game on a 7-game win streak while Tulane has collected 9-straight wins heading into this critical matchup. New Year’s Six stakes are also on the line, primarily for No. 23 Tulane, which controls its own destiny for a second consecutive appearance to college football’s most prestigious slate of bowls.
