Redshirt sophomore Glen Cuiellette readies to throw downfield in the Oct. 29 loss against Southern Methodist University. SMU is one of Tulane's six conference losses, and the Green Wave remains winless in the American Athletic Conference after a Nov. 12 loss to the University of Houston.
The Green Wave defense had difficulty holding off the Cougars in the first half, allowing 14 points each quarter. It tightened, however, and held Houston's offense scoreless after halftime. Even though the Wave outscored the Cougars in the second half 8-2, it wasn't enough to mount a comeback. After the game, Tulane head coach Willie Fritz recognized their efforts.
