Louisiana football is back in action facing Tulane, its biggest test yet of the 2024 college football season.

After beating Kennesaw State 34-10 in Week 2, Ragin' Cajuns (2-0) got a chance to lick their wounds and prepare for a matchup with bragging rights written all over it with an off week. The last time they faced the Green Wave was in 2018 for the Cure Bowl in Orlando, where they lost 41-24.

This go-round, UL football will face Tulane (1-2) in the comforts of home for the first time since 2012. The Green Wave come into the matchup battle-tested, facing two ranked opponents so far this season. Their most recent loss came against No. 15 Oklahoma, in which they tried to hold their own against the Sooners before falling 34-19.

While Tulane is looking for a bounce-back win, the Ragin' Cajuns want to prove they can hang with the big boys. A key to doing so is finding rhythm on offense in a hurry against a physical Green Wave defense. Senior quarterback Ben Wooldridge will look to pick up where he left off after throwing for nearly 500 yards and four touchdowns so far this season.

On the ground, UL football has rushed for 389 yards so far with sophomore Zylan Perry leading the charge rushing for 150 yards. For the Green Wave, shifty redshirt freshman quarterback Darian Mensah will lead their offense throwing for over 700 yards and five touchdowns after three games.
