Many people believed that USC deserved to be in the College Football Playoffs but after a loss to Utah in the Pac 12 Championship that dream was cut short for the Trojans. Going into this game USC was the favorite considering the fact that they have a Heisman winner at quarterback. Tulane has had a pretty decent season this year beating UCF in the AAC championship.

At first it seemed like it was going to be a blow out but after the green wave got a safety with under 4 minutes to go Tulane had the ball back and a chance to win the game. That is exactly what they did. Tulane went on to win 46-45.

Tulane quarterback Michael Pratt threw for 234 yards with two touchdowns.

USC quarterback Caleb Williams will be back next season and looks forward to leading his team to a National Championship under Lincoln Riley.
