The Tulane Green Wave kicked off bowl season Saturday with a 41-24 win over the Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns in the Cure Bowl at Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Florida.
The bowl win was Tulane's first since winning the Hawaii Bowl in 2002, and by going 7-6, it finished with a winning record for the first time since 2013.
While Louisiana fell to 7-7 with the loss, it still managed to finish .500 or better for the first time since 2014, which was the final year of a four-year streak that saw the Cajuns go 9-4 and win the New Orleans Bowl each season.
