What to Know

The Tulane Green Wave will stay at home another week and welcome the Alcorn State Braves at 7 p.m. ET Sept. 10 at Benson Field at Yulman Stadium. The Green Wave will be strutting in after a win while Alcorn State will be stumbling in from a defeat.

If there were any doubts why Tulane was a heavy favorite Saturday, the team quickly laid those doubts to rest. They took their contest against the Massachusetts Minutemen last week by a conclusive 42-10 score. The game was all but wrapped up at the end of the third, by which point Tulane had established a 42-10 advantage. They can attribute much of their success to QB Michael Pratt, who passed for two TDs and 157 yards on 20 attempts in addition to rushing for one TD and 58 yards, and RB Tyjae Spears, who punched in three rushing touchdowns.

Meanwhile, Alcorn State didn't finish too far behind, but the squad still lost 31-27 to the Stephen F. Austin Lumberjacks last week. Alcorn State was up 24-10 at the end of the half but couldn't hold on to the lead.

Alcorn State's loss took them down to 0-1 while Tulane's victory pulled them up to 1-0. A win for the Braves would reverse both their bad luck and Tulane's good luck. We'll see if Alcorn State manages to pull off that tough task or if the Green Wave keep their momentum going instead.
