No.20 Ole Miss faces No.24 Tulane on Saturday, September 9, 2023 (9/9/23) at Yulman Stadium in New Orleans, Louisiana.
NEW ORLEANS — Tulane coach Willie Fritz had an announcement to make as he prepared for a matchup with No. 20 Mississippi that has become arguably one of the toughest tickets ever for a Green Wave home game.
Yulman Stadium has never hosted a ranked SEC team — and the fact that No. 24 Tulane also is in the AP Top 25 makes this arguably the highest-profile game played there. On top of all that, there is no shortage of Mississippi alumni living in and around New Orleans — Archie Manning and Deuce McAllister, who plan to attend, being but a couple examples.
Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin coached the Rebels to a blowout victory over the Green Wave just two seasons ago in Oxford, Mississippi. Since then, he said, Tulane has transformed into a far more formidable foe. Those big-game victories late last season might help Tulane players “a little bit,” Fritz said. “Obviously, a conference championship game was huge. I’m very consistent in my preparation every week. Hopefully that carries over to the guys. I try to have the same demeanor as I did when I was at Blinn junior college as head coach and playing Cisco in front of 50 people.”Pratt and Mississippi starter Jaxson Dart both are coming off strong performances.
