Tulane Surges Ahead as UTSA Struggles in Close Games
31 Oct
Summary
- Tulane's coach Jon Sumrall linked to SEC coaching jobs
- UTSA's offense strong, but defense has struggled this season
- Tulane's run game led by QB Jake Retzlaff, but needs more support
As of October 31st, 2025, Tulane's football team has been making waves in the college football landscape. Under the leadership of head coach Jon Sumrall, the Green Wave have established themselves as a force to be reckoned with, particularly in close games.
In contrast, UTSA has faced challenges in one-score contests this season. The Roadrunners' offense has been one of the best in the conference, but their defense has struggled, surrendering 40-plus points on three occasions.
Tulane's offense revolves around the run game, with quarterback Jake Retzlaff leading the team in rushing attempts, yards, and touchdowns. However, the Green Wave will need to find more support in the backfield to complement Retzlaff's efforts if they hope to overcome the Roadrunners' high-powered offense.
As the two teams prepare to face off on Thursday, October 30th, Tulane will be looking to capitalize on UTSA's defensive woes and secure another victory on the road. The Green Wave have already proven their mettle in close games, and they'll be aiming to extend their winning streak and keep their conference championship and College Football Playoff aspirations alive.
