The Tulane football team is making its home in Ruston this semester after being displaced from New Orleans by Hurricane Katrina. Members of the football team are enrolled at Louisiana Tech as visiting students, live in Caruthers Hall on campus and are sharing Tech's practice facilities.

The UTEP game will be Tulane's first in Ruston during this "Katrina" semester and will mark the fourth different Louisiana city to host a Green Wave "home" game this fall.
