All of our voices were gone by the end of the game and some of the drum heads were dented from how excited we were while playing after we won. I really hope we keep up this action next season and beyond! Can’t wait to cheer the team on next year!
I’m in the WMU marching band and I gotta say I loved being able to hear the Tulane band play so much louder than the Trojan band which is like 3x as large
Notre Dame Marching Band member here. I was at this game, sitting right next to the USC band. Man, was it amazing to watch USC get defeated in this fashion, and to see the disappointment on all their faces. Amazing game.
In the 60s & '70s, I was a swamp kid southwest of NOLA and a group of us were die- hard Tulane fans amongst thousands of LSU Tiger faithful family & friends. The admin tried to kill TU football, and along with hurricanes, having to play in that tin can of a Dome all of those years- lots of tears. As a man, I wept as the clock ran out on this classic. Tears of Joy released out of me like a flood, thank you Wave, coach Fritz & all players & coaches the entire organization I'm so happy today -ROLL WAVE!!
I was lucky enough to be a freshman at TU in 1998 when they finished the season as one of only 2 undefeated FBS teams, only to get f'd over by bowel committee and end up at the crappy Liberty Bowl. It was still a hell of a season though, and arguably the first truly successful team running the spread option in college football, which has since then become commonplace in both college and the NFL.
Congratulations to Tulane and their fans. It's always great to see a "little" football program topple a team like USC. It's a lesson to never give up and never give in.
My Dad played football at Tulane in the 1950's. He was a lifelong avid football fan. He passed away a few years ago. I know he would have been so proud of his team's win over USC. I would have loved to celebrate this win with him if he was still here.
God bless you and your dad! My Uncle and my father were Tulane alums and huge fans. Both men are gone; my uncle passed less than 2 years ago. I like to hope they got to see this from above. They would have been ecstatic. I too wished I could have celebrated this with them.
@Z A Because that's what he does. Everyone wants to blame the defense and fire Grinch, but Riley was known for very questionable play calling in clutch moments at OU!!
@Z A Maybe it will. I don't think Grinch will be fired. The problem for USC is you only have one more season will Caleb Williams. So I guess the transfer portal will yet again be Riley's recruiting base.
Tulane offense has been really good all year USC's defense does need to get better but two lanes offense has been off the charts all year they've done that to everybody
As long as a team has a good QB and a talented receiver core, NO ONE in college football knows what defense is. You think those 2 BCS semi-final games didn’t have catastrophic meltdown after meltdown in the secondary? Both games. All game long.
Spears was the MVP of the game, he shredded the USC defense. I love how everyone just knew USC had the game won, then Tulane snatched the victory. The media love for USC was sickening.
Yes, the media really loved that USC QB and gave no attention to Michael Pratt and what he has done for the Tulane team in 2022. He is a gutsy player with a lot of heart. He could transfer to a Power 5 school but he's staying with the Green Wave. Last year he had very little protection and got banged up often in games this past year. He can run the ball and I hope he will get drafted by a good pro team.
Love watching Tulane, Willie Fritz used to coach at the college that I'm attending currently and my grandpa used to coach him in high school basketball in Kansas
As a fan of OU, I say “thank you Tulane”. Lincoln Riley is doing the exact same thing at USC he did at OU: great QB that piles up a ton of stats, wins a lot of awards, and a defense that couldn’t stop a jr high team. He took Alex Grinch with him to sc, so for their fans, prepare for more of the same. You’ll score 45, but your opponent will score 46. With what Stoops left Riley on a silver platter at OU, we should’ve had at least 2 Natl Championships. His ineptness in defense blew those. Yes I am bitter about how he methodically gutted the OU program, and I relish any and all karma that finds its way to him.
I do not think Riley is to blame DIRECTLY for the horrible defense. He needs to have the time to hire good defensive coordinators. If there is no willingness to do that, the defense will always be bad. Take Urban Meyer for instance. He was an offensive mind in football (even though, he was a CB in college). He knew that if he had to win games his defense would have to be top. So when he was at Utah, Bowling Green, Florida, etc.; he was able to fit new coordinators or make very good use of the ones that stayed behind from previous coaching staff. Of course, when they went to pursue their own dreams as HCs, they tanked (Adazzio, Strong, etc.). One thing I also noticed is that offensive minded coaches usually set up co-defensive coordinator positions. You will notice that at his time at Ohio State, he would elect two people to just be responsible for the defense (one for passing game and one for running game). Chip Kelly, another HC at UCLA, is struggling as well. He is their HC AND offensive coordinator. Somehow he managed to get a decent defensive coordinator. It all has to do with the budgets of those schools. Maybe OU is just poor. Who knows? Someone in the athletic department is pocketing all the money. And I write all this, but his special teams were crap. HE would be the one to oversee that part of the team and they would end up making mistakes because someone on Ohio State would botch a reception on a punt or miss a FG.
Oh, it gets worse. If he repeats his performance at OU, year one was as good as it got. From losing in double OT in the playoffs to not making the conference game his last season (remember that way too many of those games were won by one possession), his team’s performances got progressively worse. He can’t recruit and he chokes in the games that matter.
I've been watching college ball for over 50 years and NEVER have I seen such a small school beat one of the most storied schools of all time. This was a game of desire on the part of the Green Wave. On any given Saturday, the mighty can fall. Great game.
@@MH-0101 USC: No matter the coach or the players they are still the best ever at grabbing defeat from the jaws of victory, remember 2006 Rose Bowl vs Texas!
This USC squad was completely bought and paid for by the NIL portal. It feels good to know that the University of Spoiled Children couldn't buy their way to a conference championship, playoff spot, or even a bowl game win. Pretty much the most undeserving Heisman award in recent memory, it should have gone to Max Duggan at TCU.
This was just the best game if you were rooting for Tulane. I live in SoCal and was rooting for Tulane haha. I was going to never watch football again if they didn't give Tulane that TD. I was screaming at my TV "That's a touchdown! You can't take it away from these boys like that!" Glad for Tulane they got it right after replay. Definitely got emotional, like watching David beat Goliath and they were going toe to toe even when they were down.
Have met Willie Fritz before, my grandpa was his basketball coach in high school and he used to coach at my college. One of the nicest people you'll ever meet.
As a tulane fan I didn't think tulane was going to win until that safety. Even after muffed kickoff I thought Caleb would just get another big play passing since he did 2x before. When that safety happened I was like "holy crap they can do this"
I consider that safety decisive for Tulane winning the game. It kept them from having to go for 2 on their next TD just to tie, allowing them to just kick the PAT to win. Safeties may be rare, but they can be critical.
@@metroidnerd9001 it was key and I still never understood why usc was running it there. Barring the 2 runs late in 1st half usc run game had been shut down. Tulane had gotten no pass rush without blitzing on Caleb and he torched tulane. The fact that usc final 2 drives ended without having the ball in Caleb's hands was egregious by USC
@@ap6743 My love for USC is eternal, even though that Tulane team was special that day in the Cotton Bowl. One of the most exciting games I've ever watched.
@@thepokemonpowerhouse5562 Not sure OU "choked" to be honest. Thanks to Lincoln Riley taking OU's main offensive weapons with him, as well as torpedoing OU's recruiting class by secretly deserting OU just a few days before National Signing Day, made it pretty predictable that OU would struggle this year. But USC - with all of its talent - had this game won, then did everything it needed to do in the last four minutes to lose. That's a classic example of "choking." And Williams' panicking attempt to field the ball at the one-yard line set the stage for USC to really begin to unravel. Williams looked nervous, indecisive, and confused as he attempted to field the ball. I actually felt sorry for him.
I said back in early November in the tone Cowboys fans use: Tulane was going to win the American conference. And I told my dad after they were announced to play in the Cotton Bowl that they would win that as well. Unlike the Cowboys, Tulane did not let me down.
Happy for Tulane. Felt bad for them ever since they lost to Miami in the early 70s when The Canes were given a 5th down. I won a dollar in a bet with another kid at my school and I have felt guilty ever since!
@@QBAN2010 Many of us in NOLA that have been long time Tulane fans remember this. 1972. I was a teenager and remember listening to the game on the radio.
For me, at least, the most exciting part of that ending was the safety, and the most entertaining part was when 22 men forgot how to play football on that last play. I may be an SMU fan, but I was rooting for Tulane the whole time. What a game!
How fitting is it when the announcers started talking about the glory days returning to USC, the events started to unfold. Good luck in the Big ten fellas you'll need it
If you wouldn't have told me that Tulane was going to beat Usc is the beginning of the season I wouldn't have slaped you Tulane have come a long way great win Tulane
Gotta love this for Tulane. At 5:12 I only see 2 clowns who are screaming into their phones as opposed to just purely experiencing the moment. That’s incredible these days and a testament to the passion of the fans.
Refs really tried to help USC out by not calling targeting on the USC defender who lowered his head and initiated helmet to helmet contact with the Tulane receiver
3:28 #21 on USC was just going to lie on top of that guy as long as he could get away with it. Another example of a defensive delay of game this season that I wish would have been called.
That is why college football is the best! What a game. Sometimes the improbable does happen. No one told Tulane they were supposed to lose that night. Great job Tulane.
3.40 Everyone in the booth and the replay expert were all in agreement that Watts was not "defenseless". Yea on the slow motion replay it looks like that. But watch it again in real time and tell me if it looks like he had any chance at all to "defend" himself from that hit.
3:09 heads up play by the Tulane OLineman to freak out and jump on top of the ball on the ground, even if it wasn’t a fumble. Play til the whistle is blown, always.
I said from the start of the season that USC's defense would be their downfall. That's now the two critical losses to hold them out of the CFP and this massive Cotton Bowl collapse where it showed glaringly
Looks like there's more than one college football team on the national stage from South Louisiana. Welcome aboard Green Wave from that little place 80 miles up the river.
I realize usc fans will hate me, but just remember this; I know EXACTLY how you felt watching that game. I’ve gone through all the same emotions during his time at OU. You all think we’re delusional liars, which is fine, but we really were excited and optimistic after he left. But you’ll have some really fun memories while he’s coaching your team, so enjoy it while he’s there!
BOOMER!!! Exactly what I don’t understand is why would LR copy and paste that horrible defense we had at Oklahoma, did he honestly think he’d have a different outcome😂😂
@@bens5661 lol yeah OK. USC is 14-11 against SEC teams. Oklahoma has a 109-48-8 record against SEC teams. So keep flapping those gums, buddy. Enjoy yourself in the Big 10!
Sports are still about heart drive n making yourself the best you can be and that is being proved by Tulane winning and tcu in the championship game talent n money isn’t everything you have to have heart n work hard to keep getting better
Grinch is getting most of the blame and he definitely deserves a lot of it, but it falls on Lincoln Riley. Look at his failures at OU and even lots of games that they won. Get ahead of teams early and get beat at the end, or nearly beat. Lots of games with less talented players were really close. And teams that play tough & physical are going to beat a LR team, more often than not. LR recruits great offensive players, not so on defense. He’s trying to win by beating teams 52 to 48. It works during regular season and doesn’t work when the competition stiffens. I think USC will get the same thing that OU got, 10 - 11 win seasons & beat in the playoffs…then run to the next big paycheck or NFL.
Lmbo. This is great. USC thought they got a home run hire with Riley. Now they will see what us Oklahoma fans had to endure for too long. No defense at all. He won’t get USC anywhere.
So pretty much how Oklahoma was this year with the new coaches. And now with the move the SEC Oklahoma will have to get use to 6-6 records no conference championships and zero playoff appearances.. Oh how the tables have turned🤣🤣🤣

How fitting is it when the announcers started talking about the glory days returning to USC, the events started to unfold. Good luck in the Big ten fellas you'll need it
What a fantastic win for The Green Wave-big congratulations from Irish Nation!👏🏼💪🏼🍀
That famous Lincoln Riley defense...
Ur mom
Tulane is so underated they were so good this year
This was by far the best BOWL GAME of the Year !!
That incompletion on 1st & Goal with 15 seconds left was a pretty huge play. Funny how things work out like that sometimes!
Big LSU fan......So happy for Tulane! Good to see another state school fight with the big dogs and come out on top! Go Wave
To Tulane from K-State fan. Nice win Tulane. We knew you were a good team.
If you wouldn't have told me that Tulane was going to beat Usc is the beginning of the season I wouldn't have slaped you
Tulane have come a long way great win Tulane
Gotta love this for Tulane. At 5:12 I only see 2 clowns who are screaming into their phones as opposed to just purely experiencing the moment. That’s incredible these days and a testament to the passion of the fans.
Seeing USC lose is always great. Have fun choking in the Big 10. Great resiliency shown by Tulane!
I love the way they hyped up Caleb and USC just seconds before the game changed
I watched this live but forgot how nuts that drive was. Thank you for reuploading this!
Refs really tried to help USC out by not calling targeting on the USC defender who lowered his head and initiated helmet to helmet contact with the Tulane receiver
"Glory days feel like they are coming back for the Trojans" at 0:13. Hilarious placement.
Damn. Wish I had seen this game in person. Michael Pratt took those sacks but hit the BIG passes like a Boss!
Haven't seen a team melt down that bad in Cowboys Stadium since...well, the Cowboys.
3:28 #21 on USC was just going to lie on top of that guy as long as he could get away with it. Another example of a defensive delay of game this season that I wish would have been called.
Lincoln seems like he will never learn. You gotta play some Defense to win games from time to time.
People forget that tulane had a decent run defense,nice front four.
That is why college football is the best! What a game. Sometimes the improbable does happen. No one told Tulane they were supposed to lose that night. Great job Tulane.
How did the official miss that call from three feet away? He was so adamant it hit the ground but he was just making it up
It’s hard to judge a play where we didn’t have his viewpoint. It’s alright because we have replay
He was an SEC official. That explains everything.
That ref must have gotten some USC nil money also
For sure he made that call without seeing the ball hit the ground! You cannot call something you didn’t see.
3.40 Everyone in the booth and the replay expert were all in agreement that Watts was not "defenseless". Yea on the slow motion replay it looks like that. But watch it again in real time and tell me if it looks like he had any chance at all to "defend" himself from that hit.
Love to see USC get beat; icing on the cake to see them get beat in miraculous fashion!
Congratulations to Tulane on a wild, improbable comeback.
3:09 heads up play by the Tulane OLineman to freak out and jump on top of the ball on the ground, even if it wasn’t a fumble. Play til the whistle is blown, always.
Couldn't happen to a more deserving team

I live to see USC LOSE……THANKS FOR MAKING AN OLD MAN HAPPY
Fun as hell
I watched another epic Tulane game this year. Fun squad.
The mighty Southern Cal dynasty, taken down by a combination of Pratt and Spears. Endless praise, guys. Endless praise
That safety play. That is why you never hand the ball off behind the line of scrimmage playing from the goal line.
Tulane was favored by alot of sports books. Not surprised now.
Congrats to Tulane. Brought back upset memories from the 80's.
This is the stuff movies are made of! What a comeback.
“Glorious!” “Glorious!” “Glorious!” 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I said from the start of the season that USC's defense would be their downfall. That's now the two critical losses to hold them out of the CFP and this massive Cotton Bowl collapse where it showed glaringly
That was on the offense and special teams.
@@michaelmacdonald880 they gave up 46 points. It’s mostly on defense
@@NoAimBuckaroo they lost because of the safety. I wouldn't expect an SEC fan to know football thought
@@michaelmacdonald880 not really. All the safety did was allow Tulane not to have to go for the 2pt conversion to tie.
@@michaelmacdonald880 Yeah, all those SEC teams do is keep winning national titles. What could they possibly know about college football? 😉
1:31 WOW! Big 0 said where you going? Nowhere but the endzone Safety!
Looks like there's more than one college football team on the national stage from South Louisiana. Welcome aboard Green Wave from that little place 80 miles up the river.
Who's the other team? Can't be the Saints, can it?
@@perniciouspete4986 "College".
LOL. The last play USC ran was so sad. I would feel so crappy running that play. Great win by Tulane!
The ball did not touch the ground I do not care what anybodys says... Congrats to Tulane! When USC is up 45-30 what a comeback! lol!
They will definitely take over the AAC next season with the departing of Cincy and UCF. As a UCF student, respect to yall, go knights and roll wave
Unbelievable comeback by Tulane!!! Outstanding team effort 👍.
Every time USC makes a tackle on defense they start strutting around like a Banty Rooster 🐓 like they are good

I realize usc fans will hate me, but just remember this; I know EXACTLY how you felt watching that game. I’ve gone through all the same emotions during his time at OU. You all think we’re delusional liars, which is fine, but we really were excited and optimistic after he left. But you’ll have some really fun memories while he’s coaching your team, so enjoy it while he’s there!
well said.. BOOOOOMER!!
Y'all had a LOSING SEASON, get over yourselves before you become the SEC's bitch
BOOMER!!! Exactly what I don’t understand is why would LR copy and paste that horrible defense we had at Oklahoma, did he honestly think he’d have a different outcome😂😂
@@bens5661 lol yeah OK. USC is 14-11 against SEC teams. Oklahoma has a 109-48-8 record against SEC teams. So keep flapping those gums, buddy. Enjoy yourself in the Big 10!
@@alphadragongamingFTW Sooner
Wow! That muff at the one was crazy! What a finish. GGs Tulane
Hat’s off to Tulane. That was a quite the game 🏈👍🏽👍🏽
Bless the green wave and the reply official! Big 💰 day!!!
Everytime I feel sad, I watch this game. 😂
Sports are still about heart drive n making yourself the best you can be and that is being proved by Tulane winning and tcu in the championship game talent n money isn’t everything you have to have heart n work hard to keep getting better
What a game, Tulane!
Thrilling ending. Reminds me of the Boise State-Oklahoma Fiesta Bowl several years ago.
Grinch is getting most of the blame and he definitely deserves a lot of it, but it falls on Lincoln Riley. Look at his failures at OU and even lots of games that they won. Get ahead of teams early and get beat at the end, or nearly beat. Lots of games with less talented players were really close. And teams that play tough & physical are going to beat a LR team, more often than not. LR recruits great offensive players, not so on defense. He’s trying to win by beating teams 52 to 48. It works during regular season and doesn’t work when the competition stiffens. I think USC will get the same thing that OU got, 10 - 11 win seasons & beat in the playoffs…then run to the next big paycheck or NFL.
Oklahoma fans happy rn
Look at you Tulane being a powerhouse
Tulane fan here the last 5 minutes we’re crazy I was at the game and that was a miracle
Lmbo. This is great. USC thought they got a home run hire with Riley. Now they will see what us Oklahoma fans had to endure for too long. No defense at all. He won’t get USC anywhere.
So pretty much how Oklahoma was this year with the new coaches. And now with the move the SEC Oklahoma will have to get use to 6-6 records no conference championships and zero playoff appearances.. Oh how the tables have turned🤣🤣🤣
BOTY! Bowl of the Year!!! ;-) also the G5 victory of the decade thus far 😏🌊
USC and Riley deserve each other.
