Tulane wraps up wild season with decisive Cure Bowl victory

For Tulane it was a win 16 years in the making.

The last time the Green Wave ended a season with a bowl victory was in 2002 when Chris Scelfo’s club came out triumphant in Hawaii Bowl. No Tulane team had won a postseason game since... at least until Saturday.

Willie Fritz’s Wave took a program-defining step when they dispatched their in-state rival Louisiana Ragin Cajuns 41-24 in the AutoNation Cure Bowl to claim the school’s fifth bowl victory; a surprisingly low number for a team that’s played football for well over a century.
