COLUMBUS, Ohio - No larger crowd had ever seen Tulane play a football game before Saturday (Sept. 22), and it would seem safe to think nobody outside those two sections with olive and blue-clad fans was here to see the Green Wave.
For everybody else, this was about Urban Meyer returning to the sideline. This was about getting ready for Big Ten Conference play. This was about getting primed for a push for the College Football Playoff.
So, let's focus on Tulane.
The Green Wave ended this 49-6 defeat with a 1-3 record, putting them in need of five wins in seven American Athletic Conference games to make the preseason goal of playing in a bowl a reality.
