It's here! After 14 weeks the American Championship Game is here!

This week on All American, Maria Trivelpeice and Kyle Youmans preview the American Football Championship presented by LLH Healthcare between North Texas and Tulane They discuss what has led each team to this point and how they can walk away with the title. 

It's new territory for North Texas as the Mean Green are playing in thier 1st American Championsip Game and have their 1st 11-win season in program history. Led by a high-flying offense with the 3 headed monster in Drew Mestemaker, Caleb Hawkins and Wyatt Young the Mean Green boast one of the best offenses in the country. However it's not just the offense this year as the defense has stepped up in a big way improving drastically under first year coordinator Skyler Cassity.

While North Texas has not been here before, Tulane has. The 4th straight American conference championsip appearance for the Green Wave has them seeking their second title after winning it in 2022. Quarterback Jake Retzlaff who joined the team late in the offseason has led the way with his arm and his legs for a Tulane team playing their best football down the stretch. A defense that has been a total team effort looks to put a stop to the Mean Green offense that no one has held under 30 points this season.

Kyle and Maria break down the keys to the game and how both teams can walk away victorious. Along with why the winner of this game should undoubtedly be in the College Football Playoff without question.

Lastly, Kyle picks who he believes will take home the American Conference Championship

The American Football Championship Game presented by LLH Healthcare takes place Friday December 5, 2025 fom Yulman Stadium in New Orleans, Louisiana and will be broadcast at 8  p.m. ET on ABC
