RIVALRY GAME: THE BATTLE FOR THE RAG






Latest Line (courtesy Bovada - Las Vegas):


....................7 1/2....................

2025: Former Wave PK Aaron Larson drilled the game-winning 32-yard walk-off field goal as time expired, capping off a perfect 4 for 4 day and helping his team earn an emphatic victory over the Tigers a year ago.

Last Meeting: Last season, 16th ranked LSU jumped out to an early 14-3 lead, their first double-digit lead over their SEC rival Tulane since the 2016 season. However, behind steady play from then-redshirt sophomore QB Jimmy McBride along with a strong defensive performance by former Wave MLB Mario Young, the #6 ranked Green Wave prevailed in a thrilling 33-30 victory over the Tigers at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome. McBride threw for 355 yards and a touchdown while Young accounted for 14 tackles and 2 sacks as the Green Wave won its 9th straight over their in-state foes. After seeing the Tigers tie the game up at 30-30 with 1:58 remaining, McBride put together a drive for the ages, setting up former Wave PK Aaron Larson for the game-winning 32-yard walk-off field goal as the clock expired. The win improved head coach D. Geezy's record to 11-3 overall versus the Tigers.

2024: Tulane star DB Jonathan Smith had some fun with the cameraman after taking his first ever career attempt at a punt return 63 yards for a touchdown that made the score 21-7 in the first quarter. | Not to be out-done, RB Tony Tompkins also made his mark on special teams, blazing past Tigers defenders for a 92-yard kickoff return touchdown that made the score 35-14 and blew the game wide open in the second quarter.

Last Meeting at Venue: Two seasons ago, at rain-soaked Tiger Stadium, #9 ranked Tulane scored early and often, ousting their in-state arch rival LSU 49-21 for a decisive early season victory. Sparked by two special teams touchdowns, one by RB Tony Tompkins on a kickoff return and another by DB Jonathan Smith via a punt return, the Green Wave stormed out to a 35-14 lead and never looked back. Then-redshirt freshman QB Jimmy McBride threw for 303 yards and 4 touchdowns as the Wave won their 8th straight over the SEC West nemesis.




Trip Down Memory Lane
Celebrating the 10-year anniversary of Tulane's 2016 BCS National Title

2016: Former LSU QB Michael Robertson's 4-yard touchdown pass to former WR Dominic Holmes capped off an 8-play opening second half possession and increased the Tigers' lead to 24-10, and the home team never looked back.

Last Meeting III (Legacy Classic): One decade ago, #10 ranked Tulane lost then-true freshman and eventual star QB Jamie Manning to an abdominal injury early in the first quarter and had issues getting its offense going until it was too late, eventually falling to then-#14 LSU 31-27 at Tiger Stadium in 2016. The eventual BCS National Champions that season, Tulane faced a 31-10 third quarter deficit and nearly pulled off the miracle comeback, however a late interception thrown by third string QB George Ford with 1:29 remaining sealed the Wave's fate that afternoon. The game represented Tulane's only loss during their historic national title run, and also represents the last time they fell to their in-state rival LSU.

Head Coach D. Geezy's Take

Head coach D. Geezy addressed the media on Friday before boarding one his team's charter buses to make the one hour trip to Baton Rouge.

There isn't a whole lot to say here - we are two teams that really don't like each other at all, and they're coming in hungry after finally almost beating us last fall. They boast one of the best defenses in the nation and have a very solid running game with RB Jamie Stover (84 ovr) and a very good young passer in QB Rob Mason (80 ovr) that we know a lot about, as we recruited him very hard a couple of years ago.

Tiger Stadium is one of the most hostile environments in college football and we know we're going to get their 'A' game. They're a young, up-and-coming team that is right on the brink of putting themselves right back in the national conversation. Looking at things objectively, this game could be a turning point for their program and could indeed put them right back into the national conversation. They also literally have 19 big time recruits visiting their campus for this game, so this is a big contest for them not only in the current standings, but also on the recruiting trail.

We've beaten this team 9 straight times, and I know and respect our game enough to know that LSU is one day going to beat Tulane again; this streak won't last forever. We have to play smart, disciplined football because this is a hungry Tigers team that's long overdue for some big wins and they feel that they let one slip away from them last year at the dome.

- Tulane head coach D. Geezy

I'm not worried about this game, but that makes me worry. Play within yourselves. It's an away game, and like you said, the steak is gonna end eventually. If y'all keep executing how you have been these last two weeks, there's nothing to worry about.

LSU gave us quite the scare last season, and they are so due. Hopefully we can get out to a fast start. If their running game gets going and that DT Rodney Justice dominates us the way he did last season (3 sacks), we could be in some trouble.

I hate to admit it, but I feel way more nervous about this one than I normally am for the Tigers.

Oh well, time to kick this one off and see what we're made out of!

RIVALRY GAME: THE BATTLE FOR THE RAG

#6X 43 -- 4-0 (3-0)
#22 38 -- 2-1 (0-1)

Sophomore TE Drew Robinson jumped onto the back of junior WR Adam Lawson to celebrate Lawson's 6-yard touchdown reception in the third quarter which increased the Wave's lead to 43-28. The score was Lawson's second of the game.

#6 Tulane holds off #22 LSU, picks up 10th straight win over Tigers in wild 43-38 shootout on the bayou | QB McBride, RB Brown combine for 5 touchdowns as Green Wave wins another close battle versus their in-state rivals | Despite giving up nearly 40 points, Wave's opportunistic defense comes away with game-altering plays at key moments | Hoping to not get caught peeking ahead to #2 Notre Dame, team will travel to Athens next week to take on 3-1 Georgia

Baton Rouge, LA -- Tulane head coach D. Geezy admitted this week that his team's long winning streak over its in-state rival LSU would one day end, a sentiment somewhat illustrated by last year's close 33-30 Green Wave victory over the Tigers at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome. Fortunately for him, despite last year's omen, that end will have to wait at least another year, as his 6th ranked Wave outscored the Tigers 43-38 in a roller-coaster ride victory Saturday afternoon at Death Valley. In a game that featured 64 combined first half points between the teams, Tulane's suddenly unstoppable offense was able to outpace their counterparts and got big plays in all three phases as the Wave won its whopping 10th straight game over the Tigers, by far its longest streak in a rivalry matchup that dates all the way back to 1893.

LSU RB Jamie Stover carved up the Green Wave defense early and finished the contest with 124 yards and 3 touchdowns on 22 carries.

Early on, both teams started the game with back-to-back touchdown drives that lasted just three plays, setting the tone for the scoreboard-burning first half. LSU RB Jamie Stover and Tulane RB Anthony Brown each had two scores in the first quarter alone, and Green Wave sophomore return man Grant Brady also contributed with an early 99-yard kickoff return touchdown, his fourth career kick return score. A missed PAT by Wave freshman PK Blake Dunn, his first miss of any kind this season, contributed to what was a 20-14 Tulane advantage at the end of the first.

The scoring birage would not end there.

A 20-yard touchdown completion from LSU QB Rob Mason to WR Chris Kelly gave the Tigers a 21-20 lead early in the second quarter. Then, following a fumble by Brady on the ensuing kickoff, the Tigers found themselves back in business once again. This time, the Louisiana native that goes by the nickname "White Mike" found WR Russell Stephens for a 15-yard score that increased the Tigers' advantage to 28-20.

"You could really feel the momentum completely shifted in their favor at that moment," said Geezy. "We knew it was going to be very important that we respond, or things would get ugly."

And respond they did, with a huge assist from their defense.

On their ensuing drive following Stephens score, QB Jimmy McBride's 21-yard touchdown strike to WR Adam Lawson despite tight coverage concluded a 10-play drive and cut the Wave's deficit to 28-27. Then, a few possessions later, the road team would re-claim the lead when sophomore MLB Rasheed Ward tackled Stover in the end zone for a safety, making the score 29-28 with 1:14 to go in the first half.

Following a great punt by freshman P Lawrence McLaughlin, Green Wave sophomore MLB Rasheed Ward burst through the Tigers' offensive line and into the backfield to bring down Stover in the end zone for a game-changing safety that gave the Wave a 29-28 second quarter lead.

Finally, following the free kick after the safety, McBride would lead a methodical drive all the way deep into LSU territory. The 8-play 60-yard march would culminate when the junior signal-caller found RB Michael Brown Jr. out of the backfield for a 1-yard touchdown completion that made the score 36-28 going into half. Brown Jr. finished with a team-high 5 receptions, which went for 44 yards, and the third down backfield specialist leads all Green Wave pass catchers with 17 receptions this season.

The Tigers received the ball first to start the second half down by only 8, however disaster quickly struck. Mason's interception thrown to SS Jo Jo Price on the first play from scrimmage of the third quarter was his third interception thrown in the game, and set the Wave up in prime field position. A quick, 2-play, 17-yard drive would result in McBride and Lawson hooking up for a pair of completions, with the second resulting in a touchdown that gave Tulane a commanding 43-28 lead. Lawson finished the afternoon with 4 receptions for 61 yards and 2 touchdowns, while McBride finished 15 of 24 for 176 yards to go along with 3 touchdowns and no interceptions, his fourth straight game without throwing a pick.

"I could not be more proud of the way Jimmy is playing right now," said Geezy of McBride, who became just the third quarterback under Geezy's regime not to throw an interception in four straight games, joining former Wave passers Curtis Byrd (2012) and Preston Fields (2019); no quarterback under Geezy has gone five straight contests without throwing a pick.

"We haven't seen this type of week to week efficiency and playmaking ability at the QB position since (former Tulane QB) Jamie Manning. Getting better at not turning the ball over was a key goal coming into this season, and right now, his 11 to none TD to INT ratio has eclipsed our expectations in that department."

LSU (2-1) would not go away that easy though. Stover's third touchdown of the day, this one from 15 yards away, decreased his team's deficit to 43-35 midway through the third quarter, making it a one possession game. Stover ended the day with 122 rushing yards and 3 scores.

The two teams would play to a stalemate for most of the remainder of the game, though that kept the Tigers within striking distance. A fourth down stop in the backfield by Ward near midfield, once again head-up versus Stover, turned the ball over on downs with 5:04 to go in the game. However LSU would force and punt to regain possession and got a field goal by senior PK Jeremy Dawson, making the score 43-38 with 2:09 remaining.

Tulane RB Anthony Brown finished the game with 15 carries for 151 yards and 2 touchdowns, and also helped his team clinch the win with a late first down run.

Curiously, the Tigers would elect to kick off rather than go for the onside kick, and they would pay dearly.

Back-to-back runs by A. Brown would result in a gains of 9 yards and then no yards, setting up a 3rd and 1 with 1:42 to go and LSU down to its final timeout. Geezy would go back to his closer one more time, and Brown came through with a game-sealing 11-yard gain, forcing the Tigers to exhaust their final timeout and putting the Wave in position to go into victory formation.

"Anthony is emerging as one of the premiere backs in college football before our very eyes, and I had no hesitations about giving him the ball in that critical moment," Geezy said of Brown, who finished with 151 rushing yards and 2 touchdowns, giving him exactly 500 yards and 5 rushing touchdowns on the year, while also earning him player of the game honors.

"Coming into today, honestly the thought of this possibly turning into a shootout had never crossed my mind. But we matched them score for score when we needed to, we made plays on defense and special teams when we needed to, and we grinded it out on the ground when we needed to at the end. This was a hard fought win against a very good opponent that's given us some trouble here as of late."

Tulane (4-0) will travel to Athens next week to face Georgia (3-1). The Green Wave defeated the Bulldogs 42-14 last season at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome, giving Geezy a perfect 5-0 record against the SEC East foe.

QB Jimmy McBride and FB J.J. Williams embrace following the contest's final kneel-down.

Nicknamed "Death Valley," Tiger Stadium was packed to the brim with over 100,000 fans ready to watch Louisiana's top two college football programs get it on.




As is customary, Tigers players "tapped the sign" as they entered the playing field on a sunny Saturday afternoon, hoping to put an end to Tulane's 9-game winning streak versus LSU.




LSU junior RB Jamie Stover gave the Green Wave problems all afternoon, and this early 37-yard touchdown concluded a 3-play opening drive which gave the Tigers a lightning-quick 7-0 lead.




After yet another touchdown by Stover put Tulane down 14-7, WR Grant Brady's 99-yard kickoff return touchdown tied the game up at 14-14 in the first quarter.




Sophomore QB Rob Mason, a Louisiana native that was nearly a member of the Green Wave, finished the contest with 273 passing yards and 2 touchdowns, however he also threw 3 costly interceptions.




LSU's student section was rowdy after their team scored back-to-back touchdowns early in second quarter to take a 28-20 lead.




Tulane QB Jimmy McBride, who has yet to throw an interception this season, somehow fit this pass into a very tight window and WR Adam Lawson was able to corral it for a 21-yard score that cut the Wave's deficit to 28-27 in the second quarter.




Tulane pass-catching RB Michael Brown Jr. once again led all Wave players in receptions, as he hauled in 5 catches on the day for 44 yards. Here, he celebrates with Lawson and LT Kyle Gray following a 1-yard touchdown reception that increased Tulane's lead to 36-28 just before halftime.




McBride threw for only 176 yards versus the Tigers' vaunted defense, however he finished with 3 touchdown passes and became just the third quarterback under head coach D. Geezy to go four straight games without throwing an interception.




LSU cheerleader Jordan Hebert is held high in the sky by one of her teammates.




After Tulane forced an early second half turnover, Lawson's one-handed 11-yard grab put the Wave in scoring position. One play later, Lawson hauled in a 6-yard touchdown reception that increased his team's lead to 43-28.




After sacking McBride three times in last year's contest, Tigers senior DT Rodney Justice was held in check for the most part on Saturday, though he did come away with this second half sack.




Senior DE T.J. Pearson brought down Mason in the third quarter for his second sack of the season.




Following RB Anthony Brown's game-clinching first down carry with under two minutes to go, McBride and company began their celebration.




A player that Tulane once recruited, LSU senior CB Billy Powers was one of the last players to walk off the field and is yet another member of the Tigers that will graduate having never defeated the Green Wave.

Dude! Great job! As a fan, I'm very proud of McBride's improvement. Great job with the resilience against LSU. I was actually really excited to see that. Two generations of full recruiting classes that have never beaten Tulane. That's crazy.

Just don't look past Georgia. Exciting season.

A close win, but I'll take it! Way to take a victory on the road, keep building momentum.

Thanks, nofx94.

For the first time since beginning this Part II project, and for the first time since the Jamie Manning-era, I feel like I have a true star at QB. Things started off very rocky with McBride, but he has really developed and seems to be hitting his stride. And I can honestly say that it isn't just the user getting better - he does things that I haven't been able to do with other QBs. His overall mobility, ability to evade pressure, and ability to throw on the run have been a tremendous asset.

Would you believe it if I told you that I acquired this guy virtually two years ago in real time?! That was so long ago that it was back when I actually had a thing for Britt McHenry (the "source" of the commitment article), before she got let go from ESPN and turned all bat-sh!t crazy in real life. It's unbelievable how time flies!

Still a long way to go, but I feel this team is starting to get a bit of a swagger and Jimmy is one of the main reasons why!

Appreciate it man....the close wins are the ones we play for. I am very happy that LSU is putting up legit fights as of late. We really had to earn that victory. I literally got out of my chair after that game-clinching first down to pump my first and then put my hands on my knees to breathe a sigh of relief at the end. Its been three real-time years now since I've revived this project, and I am so hungry for a national title; we can't have any slip-ups.

That said, we have some tougher opponents coming up very soon, so we'll have to figure out how to play better than we did against the Tigers or else things could turn sour quickly!
