The 1925 Tulane Green Wave football team represented the Tulane Green Wave of Tulane University in the sport of American football during the 1925 Southern Conference football season.
Tulane shut out 6 of its 10 opponents, with its only blemish a tie to Missouri Valley champion Missouri. For the second year in a row, Tulane set a school record for wins in a season. Most notable was the defeat of Northwestern, a game which helped herald the arrival of Southern football.
Peggy Flournoy was the nation's leading scorer with 128 points.
Coach Shaughnessy never had such a wealth of material as 1925. The backfield included captain and Hall of Fame quarterback Lester Lautenschlaeger and halfback Peggy Flournoy. Though he was famous for later using the T formation, at Tulane coach Shaughnessy employed the single wing. Assistant Bierman left for the Mississippi A&M job.
1925 saw the south's widespread use of the forward pass.
The season opened on a wet, sloppy field. Tulane beat Louisiana College of Pineville 77–0. Coach Shaughnessy only allowed his regulars to play half of the game.Lester Lautenschlaeger was probably the star of the game.
The only blemish on the year was a 6–6 tie to Missouri. Missouri scored on a 30-yard pass.Peggy Flournoy plunged over for the tying touchdown.
The starting lineup was Gamble (left end), Wight (left tackle), Levy (left guard), H. Wilson (center), Blackledge (right guard), Talbot (right tackle), Brown (right end), Lautenschlaeger (quarterback), Morgan (left halfback), Flournoy (right halfback), Norman (fullback).
The Green Wave used the forward pass to beat coach Homer Hazel's Ole Miss Rebels 26–7.
