After dropping back-to-back games against American Athletic Conference foes, Tulane returns home to play its homecoming game against SMU with kickoff scheduled at Yulman Stadium for 3 p.m.
The Green Wave (3-4, 0-3 in AAC) will be looking to pick up their first conference win of the season after what was probably the team's worst showing of the season in last week's 50-27 loss to Tulsa.
Conversely, SMU (3-4, 1-2 in AAC) is coming off its biggest win of the season after shocking defending AAC champion Houston with a 38-16 victory last week.
Tulane cornerback Richard Allen is hoping to improve during his second week in the starting lineup with cornerback Donnie Lewis expected to miss his second consecutive game with a shoulder injury.
