Overview
- Duke and Tulane meet Saturday, Sept. 5 at 3:30 p.m. ET at Wallace Wade Stadium with live coverage on the ACC Network.
- Both teams will open the season with new quarterbacks as Duke starts San Jose State transfer Walker Eget and Tulane starts Zeon Chriss‑Gremillion after he won the team’s QB competition.
- Tulane enters the game with major staff changes — Will Hall as head coach and Russ Callaway as offensive coordinator among other hires — that reshape play calling and personnel roles.
- Tulane’s offensive and defensive lines have heavy turnover from the transfer portal, creating uncertainty at the line of scrimmage that Duke’s experienced front and linebackers hope to exploit.
- Tulane safety Jack Tchienchou returns as a veteran defensive leader coming off an 83‑tackle season and his presence will be central to how the Green Wave copes with schematic and roster changes.
