QUOTE
"This is a big weekend for Tulane Athletics. We're rooting for football today and we play a big match at Memphis tomorrow. Our team is very focused and prepared for the Tigers, who are athletic and run a six-two system. We expect to attack with our unique balanced offense and protect with our defense, which is no. 3 in the American Athletic Conference."
--Tulane head coach Jim Barnes
