The Playbook - Inside the Game Plan for Tulane Football
 Tulane's first football team took the field in 1893 and earned its first win with a 34-0 shutout of LSU. |
 One disputed loss was the only thing stopping the 1901 Olive and Blue from posting a second-straight perfect season. |
 While Tulane's 1931 team was arguably the best in school history, it was not the first Green Wave squad to earn a bid to the Rose Bowl. The 1925 Greenies also were selected but turned down the offer. |
 The legendary Claude Simons led the 1934 Greenies to a 10-1 season, an SEC Championship and a victory in the inaugural Sugar Bowl. |
 Paul Krueger captained a blue-collar Tulane team which earned a bid to the 1939 Sugar Bowl and also a perfect SEC record of 5-0. |
 Eddie Price led the Green Wave to the 1949 SEC title as a senior. It was one of three SEC titles won by the Green Wave from 1934 to 1949. |
 Large crowds were common at Tulane Stadium, including this game on November 19, 1966, when 82,567 fans were in attendance for the Tulane-LSU game. |
 The 17-3 upset over Colorado in the 1970 Liberty Bowl capped off the "Year of the Green." Tulane head coach Jim Pittman was carried off of the field as 44,640 witnessed the Greenies dominate. |
 In addition to playing in the Astro-Bluebonnet Bowl, the 1973 Tulane squad defeated LSU, 14-0, before 86,598 fans, the largest football crowd in the history of the South at that time. |
 Led by quarterback Roch Hontas, the Green Wave went 9-3, defeated LSU at the Superdome in front of 73,496 fans, and played Penn State in the Liberty Bowl. |
 The 1987 Green Wave scored more points than any other TU team in the first 100 years of the program. Marc Zeno closed his career as the NCAA's career leader in receiving yards with 3,725. |
 The most successful season in the first 107 years of Tulane Football and marked the first Tulane squad to win 12 games in a season and the third unbeaten, untied squad in school history. The C-USA champions met BYU in the Liberty Bowl before a national television audience where they won 41-27. The Green Wave finished the season the #7 ranked team in the country. |
 An aggressive and opportunistic defense, superior special teams play and a young offense that came together behind new quarterback J.P. Losman and star running back Mewelde Moore, propelled Tulane to just its second eight-plus win season since 1979 and a victory in the Hawai'i Bowl. |
 Charged by President Cowen to "carry the torch, be the face and represent the name" of the university, the football team wore a commemorative patch throughout the 2005-06 academic year. |
