When Tulane kickoffs against Southern Methodist on Saturday at 2:30 p.m., it will almost be like looking in the mirror.
Both teams are 2-4 overall, 1-1 in American conference play. Both are coming off bye weeks following a loss to an undefeated conference foe. SMU fell to top 15-ranked Central Florida 48-20 while Tulane loss at Cincinnati 37-21. And both teams have yet to settle on who will start under center.
Factor in the last year's season-ending loss - the one where quarterback Jonathan Banks was ruled just short of the goal line on the final play - and it should make for an exciting atmosphere at Yulman Stadium.
