After a comfortable season-opening win against Mercer, Ole Miss heads to New Orleans to face Tulane in a game featuring a decrease in comfort levels.
Not because Tulane is a destroyer of worlds, but the Green Wave are the first taste of FBS competition in 2023 and are not a standard non-conference free win. Over the last 8 full seasons, Willie Fritz has turned Tulane into a competent program, and one with enough juice to win last year’s Cotton Bowl over USC.
In the 10 season prior to Fritz’s arrival, Tulane won a total of 34 games.
