Making waves: Coming off bowl win, Tulane primed to exceed outside expectations BY GUERRY SMITH | CONTRIBUTING WRITER JUL 13, 2019 - 1:53 AM Despite tying for the top of the American Athletic Conference West last season, the Tulane football team did not convince the skeptics it was a legitimate challenger for a championship. If the preseason magazines are any indication, the Green Wave will finish a distant third to fellow 2018 West co-champions Memphis and Houston in the annual poll during AAC Media Days June 15-16 in Newport, Rhode Island. That is exactly where Athlon’s, Phil Steele’s College Football Preview and Street & Smith’s tab Tulane, with Lindy’s going a rung lower at fourth behind Navy, too. Fourth-year coach Willie Fritz receives plaudits for his turnaround job at a program with a long history of losing, but the real buzz surrounds Houston and new coach Dana Holgorsen, who left Power-Five West Virginia for the job, and Memphis, which is coming off back-to-back appearances in the AAC Championship Game.

GAME DAY vs Tulane Following its first loss since November of 2017, the Bulls return to Raymond James Stadium, where they have won 20 of their last 23 games, to face Tulane for the second time in program history. The Bulls won the first meeting, 34-28, last year in New Orleans in a game that saw a combined 920 yards of offense. The last time the Bulls lost back-to-back games was four seasons ago, losing three straight in September of 2015 to No. 8 Florida State, Maryland and Memphis (also the last time the Bulls lost more than one game in the same month). The Bulls have not lost back-to-back conference games since the last two games of 2014, falling to Memphis and UCF. ONE LOSS: USF is one of 18 teams nationally with one loss or less on the year. Four of those teams reside in The American, tied with the SEC for the most nationally. USF plays the other three (Houston, Cincinnati & UCF) among its last five games. HOME COOKING: USF has won 20 of its last 23 home games, with 15 wins coming by two touchdowns or more. n 1,000 YARD SEASON: Jordan Cronkrite enters Saturday’s game needing just 67 yards to post the ninth 1,000-yard rushing season in program history and become the fifth USF player to achieve the mark. SALUTE TO SERVICE: Saturday will be USF’s annual Salute to Service game with the Bulls wearing helmet decals to honor those that have served in the nation’s armed forces and first responders. The pregame coin toss will be conducted by U.S. Navy Lieutenant Dennis Kelly (retired), a Vietnam veteran and father of USF Vice President of Athletics Michael Kelly. The “Hero of the Game” will be Major Sergeant Marty Davenport, U.S. Marine Corps (retired), one of the last soldiers to leave Vietnam during the fall of Saigon.

Let’s get to know the new conference mates and each other. Bulls fans and other fans in the “American” are invited to post on each of the teams to include information on the university, its athletic programs (especially football this time of year), what to do in town for a road game, etc. Or, in some cases, reminisce about previous match-ups or times spent together in a previous conference. The intent is to build fun and informative threads that help us get coached up on new conference mates. Please reserve the impulse to mud sling for other threads as the season nears. Everyone is invited to contribute. If you know a fan of one of the other AAC schools, please invite them. Thanks, Brad, aka Bulliever
