Road Test at Mardi Gras | Huntsville News

South Alabama heads to New Orleans for their first road game of the season, facing Tulane in a matchup steeped in Mardi Gras flair and regional pride. With Tulane’s coach Will Hall and South Alabama’s Major Applewhite sharing Sun Belt history, this isn’t just another game—it’s a clash of coaching know-how and cultural rivalry. The teams previously clashed with Mardi Gras-themed helmets in 2023, adding to the festive tension. South Alabama, riding high after a dominant 39-14 win over Southeastern Louisiana, must now translate that momentum into a hostile environment, where travel, noise, and unfamiliarity test their focus. This road test against Tulane will reveal whether they can rise to the occasion under pressure. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
