A record crowd funneled into Yulman Stadium on Saturday night in hopes of watching a never-before-seen coronation unfold.
Tulane joined the American Athletic Conference in 2014 in the league’s second year following its inception. Over the Green Wave’s first eight seasons of membership, they compiled two winning records and never finished better than 7-6. But last year was particularly difficult as the team struck rock bottom by posting a 2-10 record. But this Tulane squad remained unwavering in its faith and completely reversed the script in 2022. The Green Wave entered their first AAC Championship Game appearance to date with an antithetical 10-2 record, looking to stray even further from last year’s woes.
