NEW ORLEANS – The Tulane University football team announced today that it will open its 2019 campaign on Thursday, August 29 as it welcomes FIU to Yulman Stadium. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m.
Tulane will look to build off the momentum from its seven-win season in 2018, which included a 41-24 victory over Louisiana-Lafayette in the Cure Bowl. The win over ULL was the Green Wave’s first bowl win since 2002.

Tulane’s matchup with FIU will mark the second straight year the Green Wave have opened a season on a Thursday night. The Green Wave’s matchup with the Panthers also will mark just the second time the two teams have met.
