To be fair to Tulane that year they were the ranked team and had a very good quarterback in Roch Hontas. I think Tulane ended up 10-1 at year and played Penn State in the Liberty Bowl


Roch Hontzas played on their 1979 team that beat us ,24-13 in McClendon's last game. Tulane was very good and did go 9-2 and played in the Liberty Bowl.

As an aside, Tulane has played in three Liberty Bowls and all three times their head coach then went on to greener--no pun--pastures. Jim Pittman left for TCU after the 1970 game,Larry Smith went to Arizona after the 1979 game and Tommy Bowden went to Clemson after the 1998 game.
