In the first regular season game of The Battle for the Bell since 2010, Tulane dominated Southern Miss 66-24 to take the Bell back to New Orleans.
“I’m embarrassed,” Head Coach Scotty Walden said. “Our team’s embarrassed. That’s not the way we want to lose and I want to apologize to our fans. That don’t make it better. The only thing I know to do is we have to really correct what we’re doing and we’ve got to see if it’s an effort issue on film or if it’s an assignment or scheme issue.”
Tulane scored the most points by either team in the rivalry’s 34-game history.
