16th ranked Tulane hosts 21st ranked Central Florida Saturday at Yulman Stadium. The game will mark the first time since 1949 that a ranked Tulane team will host a ranked team at home.
The last time that happened was in November of 1949 when 13th ranked LSU visited 10th ranked Tulane. The Tigers won 21-0 before 79,292 at old Tulane Stadium.
