Tulane forced five turnovers and scored 24 unanswered points to win 34-21, likely securing its first College Football Playoff berth, the team’s first American Conference title since 2022.

  • Friday, Tulane Green Wave football team beat North Texas 34-21 at Yulman Stadium to win the American Conference championship, likely securing a College Football Playoff berth.
  • Coaching departures at both schools include Jon Sumrall accepting the Florida job but staying if Tulane makes the 12-team College Football Playoff, while Eric Morris leaves North Texas for Oklahoma State.
  • Tulane's defense forced three interceptions and recovered two fumbles for five turnovers, while Jake Retzlaff rushed for two first-half touchdowns and Jamauri McClure gained 121 yards and scored.
  • Pending the CFP decision, Jon Sumrall will coach at least one more Tulane game before heading to Florida, with the announcement expected after the Friday game.
  • North Texas mounted a late comeback, cutting Tulane's lead to 31-21 with 9:26 remaining after Ashton Gray's 9-yard touchdown and a 2-point conversion during rapid scoring drives.
