Tulane vs. Houston is the most weeknight game in college football. Here’s some fun trivia — when was the last time the Green Wave and Cougars squared off on a Saturday? The answer is 2017. In fact, this is the first time these programs have met outside of a Thursday since then.
“There’s a lot of hype around the game,” Tulane center Sincere Haynesworth said. “Houston, they’re right down the road, probably the closest to us. We always play them on a primetime game, Thursday or Friday night, big lights. It’s always a big game for us.”
Tulane carries a 3-1 record into Friday night’s matchup after a mixed bag of results in non-conference play.
