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. The team was ranked No. 6 in the nation in the Dickinson System ratings released in January 1926.

Peggy Flournoy was the nation's leading scorer with 128 points.

Before the season

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.

Шаблон:AFB game box start Шаблон:AFB game box end Tulane defeated the Sewanee Tigers 14–0. All scores took place in the third quarter. A 32-yard pass from Lautenschlaeger to Brown set up the first score. On the second, Flournoy got loose for a 68-yard run off tackle.

LSU

Шаблон:AFB game box start Шаблон:AFB game box end After a scoreless first half, Tulane beat the rival LSU Tigers by a 16–0 score. A pass from Lautenschlaeger to Menville got the first touchdown. The final points were scored by Irish Levy dropping the LSU quarterback for a safety.

Centenary

Something of an anticlimax after the LSU game, Tulane beat Centenary 14–0 to cap an undefeated season.

Postseason

Tulane shared the SoCon title with Wallace Wade's Alabama Crimson Tide, which went on to win the Rose Bowl. Tulane's administration declined a Rose Bowl invitation, in order to keep their student-athletes in class.

Lester Lautenschlaeger

One account reads "In the South they call "Peggy" Flournoy of Tulane University, the greatest all-round gridder in that section." Flournoy led the nation in scoring in scoring with 128 points, and was awarded the Most Valuable Player (MVP) award by the Veteran Athletic's Association. He was selected by Billy Evans and Norman E. Brown as a first-team halfback on their 1925 College Football All-America Teams. He was also named a second-team All-American by the Associated Press and the All-America Board. Flournoy and Irish Levy were All-Southern. Levy was never taken out of a game for an injury during his playing career. Lautenschlaeger made Billy Evans' Southern Honor Roll.

Flournoy's school record of 128 points was not broken until 2007 by Matt Forte.
