Our takeaways from Memphis football's loss to Tulane, starting with turnovers
NEW ORLEANS — Through the first six games of the 2026 season, Memphis football had turned it over five times. The Tigers (5-2, 2-1 American Conference) outdid that total in a shocking 31-17 loss to Tulane on Oct. 16 at Yulman Stadium. Memphis quarterback Marcus Stokes accounted for five of six Memphis turnovers (two lost fumbles, three interceptions) while running back Manny Covey also lost a fumble. It resulted in a defeat to a Tulane team that was led by Trace Johnson, a true freshman making his first career start. He was solid, but he didn't need to do much after Tulane (3-3, 1-1) got a defensive touchdown and plenty of good starting field position. Stokes connected with Jemyri Davis for a late touchdown that gave Memphis a chance, but Johnnie Daniels rushed for a 48-yard touchdown to salt the game away for Tulane. It was almost unbelievable to watch it happen. The Green Wave came in with a losing record and with a coach in Will Hall who already seemed to be on the hot seat less than halfway through his first season. But they ended up with a comfortable win and still have not lost at Yulman Stadium
