• Junior Matt Forte has been named the Conference USA co-Offensive
Player of the Week on Sept. 18, sharing the weekly honor with Southern Miss’
Damion Fletcher. Forte is a first time recipient of the conference’s player of
the week honors.
Last week, Forte ran for 170 yards on 29 carries and one touchdown
in leading Tulane to a 32-29 win at Mississippi State. The victory was the
Green Wave’s first road win over an SEC school since downing Vanderbilt in
1989. The 170-yard effort was the second best single-game total of his career, and he moved into 12th-place among Tulane’s career rushing leaders.
TULANE IS “BACK HOME IN THE ‘DOME” IN 2006:
• After Hurricane Katrina displaced the Tulane
football team from its New Orleans campus a year
ago and forced it to play its entire 11-game season
on the road, the Green Wave and its fans are “Back
Home in the Dome” for the 2006 campaign. TU will
host SMU, Rice, Army, Southern Miss and UCF in its
first full home schedule since 2004.
Tulane battles SMU in its home opener on September 30, 2006. The contest will kick-off at 6:30 p.m.
and will be broadcast live on College Sports Television (CSTV).
SCOUTING LSU:
• LSU (2-1, 0-1 SEC) outscored its opponents 90-6 in its first two outings
of the year at home against Louisiana-Lafayette (45-3) and Arizona (45-3),
but suffered a 7-3 loss on the road at SEC rival and third-ranked Auburn last
Saturday. Junior quarterback JaMarcus Russell is averaging 239 yards per
game in the air and has thrown for five touchdowns. Junior running back Alley Broussard is one of four running backs that have gained 68 or more yards
this season. Senior Craig Davis is LSU’s top receiver with 207 yards on 13
receptions.
Defensively, sophomore linebacker Darry Beckwith leads the team with
23 tackles, including 1.5 sacks and 2.5 tackles for lost yardage.

THE LAST TIME:
• The last time Tulane and LSU squared off was during the 2001 season
in Baton Rouge. The Tigers led the Green Wave, 7-3, after the first quarter
but exploded in the second quarter with 27 points to put away Tulane and
cruise to a 48-17 final in front of 91,782, the largest crowd to ever watch a
Tulane football game.
TU VS. THE SEC:
• Tulane has a rich history with and against the SEC. From 1933 to 1965,
the Green Wave was a member of the SEC and captured the conference
crown three times (1934, 1939 and 1949).
When the Wave meets LSU this Saturday, it will mark the 416th all-time
meeting between Tulane and an SEC opponent. TU has an overall record of
158-233-24 against the SEC’s current members. Tulane has regularly scheduled SEC teams throughout the existence, including two current SEC members during its inaugural season of college football in 1893. TU hosted both
LSU and Ole Miss that season and finished 1-1 with a 34-0 win of the Tigers
and a 12-4 loss to the Rebels.

15 consecutive games away from New Orleans before hosting SMU in its home
opener on Sept. 30. TU’s last home game at the Louisiana Superdome came
on December 4, 2004, against Louisville.
BECKMAN NAMED TO RAY GUY AWARD WATCH LIST:
• Senior Chris Beckman has been named to the watch list for the 2006
Ray Guy Award, which is awarded annually by the Greater Augusta Sports

career history in punting average with a mark of 42.6. Currently, he is averaging 45.8 yards per punt.
Beckman ranks second in Green Wave history in punting average to Casey
Roussel (43.19 yards from 1997-2001). His eight punts against Houston moved

and, while sophomore Brian King had a 47-yard touchdown reception and junior Gabe Ratcliff caught a 55-yard pass.
In the season opener at Houston, Ricard and junior running back Matt
Forte hooked up for long distance scoring play. Ricard found Forte on a passing
play out of the backfield and Forte turned the short gain into a 49-yard scoring
strike, which was the longest of Forte’s career by two yards.
As a freshman in 2004, the Ricard-to-Forte combination managed a 47yard scoring play against Army.
FORTE MOVES INTO 12TH PLACE ON TULANE’S
CAREER RUSHING CHARTS:

Tulane Game Notes
Head Coach Chris Scelfo
Eighth Season
Northeast Louisiana, 1985
Chris Scelfo is in his eighth season as the head
coach of the Tulane Green Wave, becoming
the third-longest tenured football coach in
school history while also ranking fourth in alltime victories with 34. Scelfo is the only coach to win a pair
of bowl games at Tulane (1998 Liberty, 2002 Hawaii), and
his teams have averaged five wins a year to mark one of
the most successful periods in modern history at the school.
Scelfo has an overall mark of 34-50 (.404) at Tulane.
He enters the 2006 campaign ranked second all-time for
games coached (84) and will surpass the school record of 91,
held by Clark Shaughnessy (1915-20; 1922-26), by the end
of this season.
Last season, Scelfo was faced with one of the most
difficult tasks by a college coach when Hurricane Katrina
devastated New Orleans and displaced the Green Wave for
the entire 2005 season. Tulane was forced to the Louisiana
Tech in Ruston and became the first college football team to
play 11 games in 11 different stadiums over the course of 11
different weeks. Scelfo kept the football team on the field of
competition and displayed true leadership qualities in helping
Tulane football overcome one of the worst natural disasters in
American history.
Scelfo has sent 10 of his Tulane players to the NFL,
including a pair of first-round draft choices at quarterback
in Patrick Ramsey (Redskins) and J.P. Losman (Bills) and
all-time leading rusher Mewelde Moore (Vikings). This past
year, linebacker Anthony Cannon became the latest Green
Wave player to make it to the NFL when the Detroit Lions
selected him in the 2006 draft.
Off the field, Scelfo has the Green Wave succeeding
in the classroom as well, as Tulane football has posted an
average graduation rate of 75 percent over the past four
years and nearly 80 football student-athletes have earned
their degree since 2001.
A 1986 graduate of Northeast Louisiana (UL-Monroe)
where he was a three-year letterman at center, Scelfo spent
the 1996-98 seasons as the assistant head coach and
offensive line coach at Georgia, and won a Division I-AA
national championship as an assistant coach at Marshall,
where he worked from 1990-95. The Thundering Herd also
claimed three I-AA runner-up finishes during his time at
Marshall.
A native of New Iberia, La., Scelfo and his wife, Nanci,
have to children: Sarah (14) and Joseph II (12).

RICARD LOOKS TO CONTINUE TRADITION OF PROLIFIC
QUARTERBACKS AT TULANE:
• Senior Lester Ricard is already on pace to go down as one
of the top quarterbacks in Tulane history, but will look to leave his
marks high in the TU record books during his final season as a Green
Wave, and carry on the recent tradition of great quarterbacks, which
includes Shaun King, Patrick Ramsey and J.P. Losman.
Through two games this season, Ricard has inched closer to
moving up the school’s career passing list for total yards. With 4,267
career yards, Ricard is 222 yards shy of passing Deron Smith (198790) for sixth-place all time.

“CORNERING” THE OPPOSITION:
• The Tulane defensive back duo of seniors Israel Route and
Jeremy Foreman are making teams pay a high price for throwing in
their direction.
Last week at Mississippi State, Foreman grabbed his fourth career interception and returned it 49 yards. His turnover led the way
for a Green Wave touchdown three plays later by Matt Forte. Foreman concluded the game with four tackles, an interception and one
pass break-up.
In the season opener at Houston, Route was credited with five
solo tackles, including two touchdown-saving stops, he forced a
fumble which TU recovered and came up with an interception on a
deflection in the first half for this third career pick.
Route was credited with seven tackles, including one stop for
lost yardage and one pass break-up.
ON THIS DATE:
• Thirty-four years ago on this date, Tulane defeated 16th-ranked
Georgia in New Orleans, 24-13, and debuted in the national polls the
next week at No. 18.
In its 112-year football history, the Green Wave has played six
total games on September 23. The last time TU played on this date
was against SMU in Dallas, Texas during the 2000 campaign. The
Green Wave downed the Mustangs, 29-17, to notch the first of six
victories on the season.
BE YOUR OWN JUDGE:
• Last week, Tulane had two of its five touchdowns reviewed by
the officials. The first was a 27-yard reception by Ray Boudreaux
in the second quarter and the second was Demarcus Davis’ 6-yard
catch in the third quarter. After careful and one lengthy review, the
officials confirmed the call on the field and both touchdowns stood.
THROW THE BALL TO ME:
• Lester Ricard obviously doesn’t play favorites when wanting to
complete a pass. Last week, Ricard completed 16 passes to nine different receivers, including two completions to a pair of running backs
and tight ends and the remaining five to Tulane wideouts.
In the season opener at Houston, completed 14 passes to five
different receivers.

Tulane Game Notes
THIS-N-THAT ABOUT TULANE:
A win against LSU would...
- Snap TU’s 14-game losing streak to the Tigers
- Give the Green Wave its first win at Baton Rouge since 1982
- Give Tulane its first win vs. a national ranked opponent since
defeating then 12th-ranked LSU at Tiger Stadium in 1982.
- Give Tulane back-to-back wins over SEC teams for the first
time since 1988 when the Wave dispatched Ole Miss (14-9)
and Mississippi State (27-22) in consecutive weeks.
- Give TU a 2-1 record for the second straight year and the 31st
time in school
- Give head coach Chris Scelfo his 35th career win
A loss against LSU would...
- Give Tulane a 1-2 record for the first time since 2004
- Extend Tulane’s 14-game losing streak to the Tigers
- Extend Tulane’s eight-losing streak in Baton Rouge
- Hand Tulane its 30th straight loss to a nationally ranked team
FIRST IMPRESSIONS:
• A total of six players have earned their first starts of their collegiate careers
through the first two games. Last week, strong safety David Skeehan, a former walkon, and middle linebacker Evan Lee earned the starting nod.
Four Green Wave players earned their first collegiate start against Houston in
the season opener. Junior left guard Aryan Barto was the only first time starter on
offense, while sophomores Sean Carney (DE), James Dillard (LB) and junior Louis
Thomas (DB) were first time starters on defense.

Punt Returns (0) - 20+ yards
TIES THAT BIND:
- Senior quarterback Lester Ricard originally signed with LSU out of high school
and was a member of the team as a freshman in 2002, where he received a redshirt
season. He transferred to Tulane the following season.
- A total of three Green Wave plays call Baton Rouge home, including senior
defensive end Taylor Bertin, junior defensive back O’Lindsey Brown and freshman
linebacker Adam Kwentua.
WHAT CAN BROWN DO FOR YOU?
• Preston Brown picked up where he left last season. In the 2006 season opener at Houston, Brown caught Tulane’s first pass and finished the game with four
catches for 32 yards with a long of 17 yards. Dating back to last season, Brown had
caught a pass in 12 straight games and now has 51 career receptions for 762 yards

to lead the team in both categories.
