The 1939 Tulane Green Wave football team was an American football team that represented Tulane University as a member of the Southeastern Conference (SEC) during the 1939 college football season. In its fourth year under head coach Red Dawson, Tulane compiled an 8–0–1 record in the regular season (5–0 in conference games), shut out five opponents, and outscored all opponents by a total of 211 to 53. They finished the season in a three-way tie with Tennessee and Georgia Tech for the SEC championship. Ranked No. 5 in the final AP poll, the Green Wave was invited to the Sugar Bowl, losing, 14–13, on a blocked extra point to No. 1 Texas A&M.[1]
Tackle Harley McCollum was a consensus All-American.[2] Halfback Bob "Jitterbug" Kellog received first-team honors from both the Associated Press (AP) and United Press (UP) on the 1939 All-SEC football team. End Ralph Wenzel received second-team All-SEC honors from the AP and UP.[3][4]
The Green Wave played its home games at Tulane Stadium in New Orleans.
