  "account": "Manhattan, KS - Tulane suffered a devastating 60-10 loss to Tulsa in their home opener, marking the team's largest margin of defeat in conference play since 2015. Tulane, once the dominant force in the American Conference, has struggled in 2026. Athletic director David Harris released a statement of apology, acknowledging the disappointment and frustration felt by supporters and the team. The loss came despite Tulane earning four conference championships and hosting the event three times from 2022-25. In the game, the Golden Hurricane dominated from the start, building a 46-0 lead and out-gaining Tulane 562-204 through the first three quarters. Tulane finally scored with one second left, securing Bredell Richardson's lone touchdown, but the margin of 50 points was the most lopsided in the program's history. Tulane is now 4-5 under head coach Will Hall, who previously served as offensive coordinator and passing game coordinator. The team has three games remaining and must respond urgently to turn their season around.",
