The American Athletic Conference spotlight shifts to Thursday night, where the Tulane Green Wave (4-1) welcome the East Carolina Pirates (3-2) in what promises to be a spirited showdown.
Tulane rides into the matchup on a high note after cruising past Tulsa 31-14 on Sept. 27, extending their strong start to the season. The Green Wave’s offense has been humming along nicely, while their defense continues to make life miserable for opposing quarterbacks.
East Carolina, meanwhile, is fresh off a commanding 28-6 win over Army, where the Pirates barely broke a sweat. Quarterback Katin Houser led the charge with a poised outing — completing 15 of 22 passes for 251 yards, two touchdowns, and a single interception.
