**OXFORD, MS** – A battle of undefeated teams is set to unfold this Saturday as the Tulane Green Wave (3-0) travel to Oxford to take on the No. 13 Ole Miss Rebels (3-0). Kickoff is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. ET at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium. The game will be broadcast nationally on ESPN. Fans can stream the game on DirecTV (free trial), fuboTV, Hulu + Live TV, and Sling.

Tulane is riding high after a dominant 34-27 victory over Duke last Saturday, led by quarterback Jake Retzlaff. Retzlaff set a school record with four rushing touchdowns, adding 245 passing yards and 111 rushing yards in a standout performance. The Green Wave jumped out to a 24-3 lead and held off a late Duke rally to secure the win. Retzlaff’s performance has garnered attention, showcasing his ability to lead the Tulane offense.

“Guys bought into that game plan,” Retzlaff said. “It’s an 11-man operation. I just did my job.”

Coach Jon Sumrall praised his team’s focus after the game. “I thought our guys came out focused,” said Sumrall, whose team fell behind 14-0 last Saturday at South Alabama. He also showed his confidence in his team by going for it on fourth down in their own territory, which helped secure the win.

This is only the third time in 50 years Tulane has started a season 3-0, leading to comparisons with the successful 1998 and 2022 seasons where the team won 12 games and a conference title. This week’s game against Ole Miss will be a major test for Tulane.

Ole Miss will be looking to defend their home turf and maintain their perfect record. The Rebels present a formidable challenge for the Green Wave. A win for either team would be a significant statement early in the season.
