Game Never in Doubt
"In a game that was never in doubt, the Tulane football team dominated from start to finish to claim a 27-0 victory over Charlotte Saturday night in Yulman Stadium.

Sumrall Critiques
""Good performance by our guys in a lot of ways," Sumrall shared with the media after the contest. "I didn't like the turnovers. We were very careless with the football. That was a major issue. We're going to have to improve that if we want to have any chance of winning next week's (American Conference title) game."
For the most part, Tulane students were absent from campus, away on their Thanksgiving break. So getting 22,245 seats in the Yulman stadium seats impressed him.
"Though it's Thanksgiving break, it was an awesome turn out," Sumrall beamed. "Knowing a lot of our students wouldn't be here, I thought (it was ) a really good crowd.
"I'll say this," Sumrall referring to the American Conference championship game on Friday. "Next week, it needs to feel like the Duke game." In that contest, Tulane's student section was packed to the rafters, as was all of Yulman which was sold out. "I'll never forget getting into the stadium for that Duke game. It was big time college football. It was as good of an environment as you'll find anywhere in America. It needs to feel like that on Friday night."
