SEC TEAMS ARE COMMON OPPONENTS FOR TULANE Tulane has a rich history against the SEC. From 1933 to 1965, the Green Wave was a mem-ber of the SEC and captured the conference crown three times (1934, 1939 and 1949). When the Wave meets LSU this Saturday, it will mark the 488th all-time meeting against an SEC opponent. TU has an overall record of 184-279-24 against SEC members. Tulane has regularly scheduled SEC teams throughout its existence, including two current SEC members during TU’s inaugural season of college football in 1893. TU hosted both LSU and Ole Miss that season and finished 1-1 with a 34-0 win of the Tigers and a 12-4 loss to the Rebels. The Wave fell at Alabama in the 2008 season opener, 20-6.

ANDERSON NAMED A DOAK WALKER AWARD CANDIDATE; SUFFERS SEASON ENDING INJURY AGAINST RICE Tulane junior running back Andre Anderson will miss the remainder of the 2008 season after he sustained a season-ending injury to his right shoulder last week during the second quarter of the Green Wave’s game against the Rice Owls, head coach Bob Toledo announced Tuesday. On Monday, Anderson was recognized as one of the nation’s premier running backs with his selection to the 2008 Doak Walker Award Candidate List. Despite missing most of the Rice game due to an injury suffered in the first half, Anderson currently ranks eighth nationally and first among Conference USA players in rushing yards per game (123.43) and is 24th in the nation and fifth in C-USA for all-purpose yards per contest (152.29). He has rushed for 100 or more yards in four games and owns two of the nation’s top 11 rushing performances this season with 255 yards at UTEP (6th) and 219 yards vs. SMU (11th). Anderson became the third Tulane player to be named to the watch list in the last six years, joining 2007 candidate and current Chicago Bears rookie Matt Forte and 2003 honoree and cur-rent Pittsburgh Steelers running back Mewelde Moore.

Green WaveGreen Wave Game Notes Game NotesSERIES & NOTES: • Saturday’s game marks 97th all-time meet-ing between Tulane and LSU, and the Tigers lead the series, 66-23-7. LSU has won the last 16 games with TU, including the last nine meetings at Tiger Stadium. • This is the oldest rivalry for each team in their histories. The two teams first played in 1893, the first football season for each school. Tulane and LSU met in November of that year, with the Greenies winning that game 34-0. • Tulane’s last win in the series came in 1982 when the Green Wave capped a 4-7 season with a 31-28 upset of the Orange Bowl-bound Tigers. TU trailed 28-24 late in the fourth quarter, but quarterback Mike McKay found fullback Reggie Reginelli open in the flat on fourth down for a 31-yard game-winning touchdown. • One of the biggest Tulane win in the series came in 1981 when the Wave downed LSU, 48-7. TU blocked a punt to set up a touchdown and recovered another block in the end zone for another score. Tulane Hall of Famer and longtime NFL tight end Rodney Holman capped his career with a touchdown reception in that ballgame. • Tulane and LSU played every year from 1911-94 (with the exception of 1918when LSU did not field a team due to World War I). The teams played single games in 1996 and 2001 and began a 10-year, home-and-home deal in 2006. THE LAST TIME AGAINST LSU A year ago at the Louisiana Superdome, the Green Wave defense posted a season-high six sacks - including two by senior defensive tackle Antonio Harris - and senior running back Matt Forté tallied 105 all-purpose yards, but it was not enough as the Tulane dropped a 34-9 decision to No. 2 LSU. The Green Wave gave the Tigers all they could handle throughout the first 30 minutes of play, and took a 9-7 advantage when sophomore running back André Anderson scored from five yards out with 4:11 to go before halftime. From there, however, LSU closed out the half with a 36-yard field goal and scored 24 unanswered points in the second half to earn the victory.

TULANE DEFENSE REMAINS AMONG LEAGUE’S BEST Tulane’s defense remains first among Conference USA schools and 33rd nationally for total defense, giving up 309.29 yards per game, and also leads the league and ranks 21st in the country for pass defense (173.43). The Wave has not allowed a 300-yard passer in any game this season.

SHARING THE WEALTH This season, 18 different players have caught pass for the Green Wave, while 11 players have more than one reception and five players have 10 or more catches. Junior Jeremy Williams is first on the team with 27 receptions, while classmate Andre Anderson is second with 25 grabs. Senior Brian King is third with 23, while sophomore Cody Sparks (14) and senior Michael Batiste (12) round out the top-five. The 18 players are second to Troy for the most players on one team with a reception in the nation this season.

THE COACHES: Tulane: Bob Toledo (San Francisco State, 1968) is in his second season as the head coach of the Green Wave. Toledo has a 6-13 mark at Tulane and a career record of 84-81 in 15 years as a Division I head coach. He became the 37th head coach in school history on Dec. 11, 2006, and has coached in 13 bowl games, includ-ing seven traditional New Year’s Day bowls. Toledo led TU to a 4-8 record during his rookie season with the Wave. However, three of Tulane’s losses were by a combined total of nine points. His previous head coaching stint was at UCLA (1996-2002), where he led the Bruins to two Pac-10 titles, a school-record 20-game win streak, two final top-10 national rankings and was twice named the Pac-10 Coach of the Year. LSU: Les Miles (Michigan, 1976) is in his fourth year at LSU and has a record of 39-8 at the school, and has an overall mark of 67-29 and six bowl game appearances and one national title in eight seasons as a head football coach. Last season, Miles led the Tigers to a 12-2 record and an outright national championship. He has guided LSU to three bowl game appearance Miles came to LSU from Oklahoma State, where he led the Cowboys to a record of 28-21 in four seasons with three bowl game appearances. He was a two-year let-terman at Michigan (1974, 1975) and helped the Wolverines to consecutive Big 10 titles and to the 1976 Orange Bowl.

Green WaveGreen Wave Game Notes Game NotesTO THE VICTORY GOES THE RAG The winner of the Tulane-LSU game traditionally received a banner known as “The Rag”. The Rag is decorated half Tulane and half LSU with each school’s logo on the respective sides. The Rag exchanged hands with each team’s victory from the first game of the series in 1893 until 1981. The original “Rag” was lost between LSU’s victory in 1980 and Tulane’s win in 1981. Some speculate that “The Rag” was delivered to Tulane following the Green Wave’s 1981 victory, but was destroyed in a fire at the Tulane Student Center prior to the 1982 game. A replacement flag was created in 2001 and was present in 2006 at Tiger Stadium.

TULANE-LSU: A LOUISIANA TRADITION The crowds at the Tulane-LSU games have been tops in both programs his-tory as the 1973 (86,958 in Tulane Stadium) is the largest crowd ever to see a home Tulane athletic event. The 1979 attendance of 73,496 still stands as the largest college crowd in Tulane-LSU Superdome history. The announced crowd of 92,135 in Tiger Stadium during the 2006 contest is the second-largest largest crowd to ever watch a Tulane athletic event.

TULANE AGAINST IN-STATE SCHOOLS When Tulane takes the field against LSU this Saturday, it will mark the 153rd time in school history that the Green Wave has faced an in-state opponent. TU has a record of 74-71-7 against Louisiana schools with match-ups against the fol-lowing teams: - Camp Beauregard (1-0) - Louisiana Tech (7-0) - Centenary (3-0) - Northwestern State (6-0) - Louisiana College (4-0) - Shreveport AA (0-1) - Louisiana-Lafayette (21-4) - Southeastern Louisiana (4-0) - Louisiana-Monroe (3-0) - Southern (2-0) - LSU (23-66-7)

TIES THAT BIND - Three Green Wave players will be going home this Saturday when Tulane battles LSU in Baton Rouge, including defensive end Adam Kwentua (University HS), linebacker Devin Holland (Istrouma) and quarterback D.J. Ponder (Catho-lic). - Tulane linebackers coach Greg Jackson was a four-year letterwinner for the Tigers from 1985-88 and helped LSU to a mark of 36-10-2. He capped his col-legiate career by claiming first team All-Southeastern Conference and All-America honors in 1988. - Tulane offensive line coach Mark Hutson and Mack Butler, LSU Assistant AD/Football Administration, each served on the same coaching staff at Tulsa in 2000. THIS-N-THAT ABOUT TULANE AND LSU A win against LSU would... - Give TU’s Bob Toledo his seventh victory at Tulane and his 85th overall. - Give Tulane its first win against the Tigers since 1981 (48-7) - Snap a 16-game skid dating back to the 1983 campaign - Give Tulane its first win against a nationally-ranked team since defeating 12th-ranked LSU on Nov. 27, 1982, which ironically is the last time the Green Wave defeated the Tigers. - Give Tulane a 13-3 record against Louisiana schools since 1998 - Hand LSU its first non-conference loss at home since a 13-10 loss to Confer-ence USA’s school UAB on Sept. 23, 2000.

A loss against LSU would... - Extend the Tigers’ win streak to 18 straight in the series. - Drop the Green Wave’s record in Baton Rouge to 10-31-1 - Give the Green Wave an 0-36 record vs. Top-25 teams since 1982. - Give Tulane its fourth straight loss, its longest losing streak since dropping eight straight to end the 2005 season.

THE GREEN WAVE AGAINST RANKED OPPONENTS Tulane has an all-time record of 19-106-2 against nationally ranked oppo-nents. TU’s last triumph over a ranked team was in 1982 against the then 12th-ranked LSU Tigers, 31-28, in Baton Rouge. Since then, the Green Wave is 0-36 vs. the Top-25.

Green WaveGreen Wave Game Notes Game NotesIN GOOD COMPANYAndre Anderson’s career-high 255 yards rushing at UTEP was the fourth most in a single game by a Tulane runner. It was the 13th 200-yard rushing game in Tulane history. Anderson becomes one of just four players to rush for over 200 yards twice in his Tulane career, joining Matt Forte (six times), Mewelde Moore (twice) and Eddie Price (twice), each of whom went on to play in the NFL. RUNNING WITH TOLEDOSince head coach Bob Toledo installed his West Coast offense at Tulane, a Wave running back has reached the 100-yard plateau 13 times in 19 total games, and has surpassed 200 or more yards seven times. Last season, Matt Forte rushed for 100 or more yards in nine games, including three 200+ yard contests and two 300+ yard performances. This season, Andre Anderson topped the century mark four times and had two games with 200+ yards.

ANDRE THE GIANT Junior Andre Anderson rushed for 100 or more yards in four straight games before suffering a season-ending injury against Rice. Among the four games were two 200+ yard outbursts. During his fourth straight century effort, Anderson carried the ball a combined 124 times for 738 yards (5.95 apc) and scored five touchdowns. He has also caught 16 passes for 147 yards and a score during the same four-game stretch for a combined 885 all-purpose yards, or 6.3 yards per touch. Anderson’s 72-yard touchdown run at UTEP was the longest play from scrimmage for the Green Wave this season, a career-long for Anderson and the longest Tulane run since Matt Forte’s 77-yard scamper at SMU on Oct. 20, 2007. TIME MANAGEMENT Tulane has done a good job keeping the opponent’s offense on the sidelines this season with consistent ball control. In fact, the Green Wave ranks second nationally in time of possession with a per game average of 33:57 minutes per game. Tulane has dominated time of possession in five of seven games this sea-son and holds better than a eight minute edge this season, 34:43 to 26:03. UTEP and Rice are the only teams to hold the ball longer than the Wave in a single game this season.

TULANE DEFENSE The Tulane defense remains ranked among the nation’s top teams in total sacks at No. 28 with 16 for minus 106 yards. TU is averaging 2.43 sacks per game this season. The Wave registered four sacks (-29 yds) in the season opener at #13 Alabama, pro-duced five sacks (-26 yds) against #14 East Carolina, finished with four sacks (-28 yds) vs. ULM and notched a season-low two sacks (-15 yds) against SMU. TU did not register a sack against Army, who attempted just five passing attempt for the game, but did notch one sack at UTEP. FIRST TIMERS Twenty freshmen, including 12 true rookies, have seen action this season. In the opener at #13 Alabama, the Wave had 16 freshmen make their first colle-giate appearance. True freshmen Chris Asumnu, Nathan Austin, Harris Howard, Eric Jones, Alex Lauricella, Sule Osagiede, Kristofar Rhymes, Kasey Stelly, Ra-fael Vazquez, Troy Wainwright and Albert Williams, joined redshirt freshmen Logan CoBell, Charles Gaspard, Josh Smith, Joey Ray and Taylor Echols in making their Green Wave debuts.

Green WaveGreen Wave Game Notes Game NotesLEFTOVERS FROM THE RICE GAME - DT Cedric Wilson made his first career start for Tulane, while Alex Wacha made his first start of the year. - Freshman FB Kasey Stelly picked up three yards on his first career tote. - After holding opponents to just 12 first downs on their first 52 attempts on third down, the Green Wave have allowed their opponents to covert 12 of their last 24 third-down attempts. - Tulane was shut out in the first half for the first time all season. The Green Wave had scored 86 first-half points in six games.

SATURDAY HEROES - Sophomore LB Devin Holland recorded his first career interception in the first quarter, picking off a pass and returning it 10 yards to the Rice 43-yard line. - Freshman RB Nathan Austin’s 49-yard screen pass from Kevin Moore was his longest reception of his career. He finished with 73 yards receiving on five catches and 25 yards rushing on 13 carries. - Freshman RB Albert Williams caught his first career touchdown on just the second reception of his career, taking an 18-yard screen pass in for six in the fourth quarter. ANDERSON, THEVENOT NAMED LOUISIANA PLAYERS OF THE WEEK - A pair of Tulane football players were named Player of the Week by the Lou-isiana Sports Writers Association after the Green Wave’s 34-27 win over SMU. Junior running back Andre Anderson was named Offensive Player of the Week, with junior kicker/punter Ross Thevenot taking home Special Teams honors. Anderson racked up a career-high 219 yards on 36 attempts with a touch-down. It was the fourth straight game that Anderson has finished with a career-high in rushing yardage. Thevenot averaged 56 yards per punt on three attempts for 168 yards, plac-ing one inside the 20. He also connected on field goals of 32 and 43 yards while converting all four PATs. His 43-yard field goal with 4:01 to play was a season-long and his 71-yard punt was the longest by a Green Wave player since 2003.

LEADERS OF THE PACK Seniors Michael Parenton and Reggie Scott were voted by their team-mates as the permanent team captains for the Green Wave this season. Tulane will have two additional captains on a per game basis. This season the duo is keeping a weekly diary called “Down & Dirty: In the Trenches of Tulane Football” which has already received national notoriety from USA Today. In their chronicle of the football team’s evacuation, USA Today fea-tured it in the Sept. 2 edition, titled “Writing out the Storm.”

GELHARDT NAMED TO 2008 AFCA GOOD WORKS TEAM Senior deep snapper Craig Gelhardt became the Green Wave student-ath-lete to receive individual honors this year as he was named to the 17th Annual Allstate AFCA Good Works Team. A three-year letterman on the gridiron, where he has handled snapping duties on nearly every punt, field goal and point-after-touchdown play, Gelhardt earned the honor after serving as an active member of SAFER (Student Advocacy For Equitable Recovery), Habitat For Humanities and Tulane’s Student-Athlete Advi-sory Council. As a member of SAFER, Gelhardt has assisted in the continued recovery effort in the New Orleans area following Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Among the activities carried out by SAFER, Gelhardt has helped gut houses, hang drywall and other maintenance to help bring families back to the city and help them return to the life they knew before the storm. He served as the community service rep-resentative on TU’s Student-Athlete Advisory Council in 2007-08.

Together the two offensive players led JCHS to a combined record of 50-3 with three state championships during his final three seasons. During is senior season, he helped lead the way for one of the nation’s top prep offenses as the Patriots amassed 4,310 yards and 58 touchdowns. • Freshman Rich Bell’s father, Richard, was an All-America football player at Rhode Island and had NFL stints in the NFL with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and San Diego Chargers. • Freshman Alex Lauricella’s uncle, Hank, was an All-America football player at Tennessee. • Freshmen Chris Asumnu and Emmanuel Aluko are not only class-mates at Tulane, but were also prep teammates at Houston’s (Texas) Alief Elsik High School. • Chris Asumnu brings a talented athletic lineage to Tulane.

BOB TOLEDOHead CoachSecond Year

San Francisco State, 1968

• Named the 37th head coach in the 112-year history of the Tulane football program on Dec. 11, 2006.

• Has a 6-13 record at Tulane.

• Sports an overall record of 84-81 in 15 seasons as a collegiate head coach.

• Coached in his 150th game on Sept. 29, 2007, against No. 2 LSU.

• Since Toledo took over at Tulane, the Green Wave has averaged 183 rush-ing yards per game with 2,412 in 2007 and 1,072 yards this season.

• Despite a 4-8 record during his first season at Tulane, Toledo still managed to lead the Wave into the national spotlight. Under his offensive philosophy, senior tailback Matt Forté rushed for a school record 2,127 yards, the sev-enth-best single season total in NCAA history, and he became the 12th player to surpass the 2,000-yard rushing plateau in a single year. Forté earned nu-merous All-America honors, including second team All-America honors, and was among the contenders for the Heisman Trophy, the Doak Walker and Maxwell Awards, and was named the national player of the week twice in his lone season under Toledo.

• Brings more than 30 years of collegiate coaching experience to the Green Wave football team, including head coaching stints at Cal Riverside (15-6 with two championships from 1974-75), University of the Pacific (14-30 from 1979-82) and UCLA (1996-2002). He has coached in 13 bowl games during his career, including seven of the traditional New Year’s Day bowls.

• Spent seven years (1996-2002) as the head coach at UCLA where he com-piled a 49-32 record overall. The Bruins produced a school-record 20-game winning streak, plus two Pac-10 titles, one Rose Bowl appearance and non-conference victories over Texas (twice), Alabama (twice), Michigan, Ohio State and Texas A&M.

• Under Toledo, UCLA went 10-2 in 1998, climbing to No. 2 in the national polls. The Bruins finished the regular season ranked fifth nationally in scoring offense (40.5) and eighth in total offense (482.6). They set school records for total offense (5,487 yards), passing yards (3,658) and passing touchdowns (29) and Toledo was a finalist for three Coach of the Year awards.

• The 1997 UCLA team finished 10-2 and ranked No. 5 in the nation after ral-lying to defeat Texas A&M in the Cotton Bowl. The Bruins trailed the Aggies 16-0 before making a dramatic second-half comeback to win 29-23. UCLA averaged 40.7 points and more than 430 yards during the regular season.

• Prior to becoming UCLA head coach in January of 1996, Toledo was the Bruins’ offensive coordinator for two seasons (1994-95) under Terry Donahue. Offensive tackle Jonathon Ogden won the Outland Trophy and tailback Karim Abdul-Jabbar was first team All-America in 1995.

• Served as the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach for R.C. Slocum at Texas A&M for five years (1989-93). During that span, the Aggies posted a gaudy 49-12-1 record with three Southwest Conference titles and five straight bowl games, including three consecutive Cotton Bowl appearances. His 1990 Aggie offense still holds the school record for total yards in a single game (774 yards on 76 plays against Louisiana-Lafayette) and season game average with 471.1 yards per game that year.

• Toledo served as the offensive coordinator at Oregon for six seasons (1983-88), and helped tutor two of the Pac-10’s most productive quarterbacks - Chris Miller and Bill Musgrave.

• Before his head coaching stint at Pacific, Toledo guided the secondary under John Robinson at Southern Cal from 1976-78. The Trojans went 31-6 in three seasons and were co-national champs after the 1978 campaign. Toledo’s most heralded pupils included Dennis Thurman, Ronnie Lott and Dennis Smith.

• Toledo’s first collegiate head coaching position was at Cal Riverside from 1974-75. The Highlanders were 15-6 and captured a pair of California Col-legiate Athletic Association championships.
