Tulane loses despite trailing for less than 2 seconds. Absolutely stunning.
Congrats to Kendrick Perkins on Jackson State’s first win against Tulane since 1992, when Tulane was ranked.
Tulane is now 12-2 against the SWAC under Ron Hunter, with both losses during Wave weekend.
Cardiac Wave do it again!
Charlotte’s win probability peaked at almost 96% after 2 minute warning
Huge plays from a pair of former walk-on QBs from New Orleans allowed Tulane to pull off another unlikely comeback:
- Garrett Mmahat stops fake punt
- Dagan Bruno game-winning TD

ESPN: Charlotte’s 24 points at halftime are its most in a 1st half in over 2 years. Also, it’s 2nd HT lead this season, along with their loss to The Citadel.
It’s the 2nd most points Tulane has allowed in a half of a conf. game over last 3 years behind 31 at UTSA in 1st half.
Congrats @CoachJonSumrall on beating the team ranked #1 just a week ago, with a backup QB making his first start.
2-0 vs top-10 opponents in his first season with Florida🐊, against Trinidad Chambliss & Arch Manning.
Florida didn’t have Duke Clark (7.4 yards/rush) either.
It’s currently halftime on the ESPNU immediate reair.
Viewers got a really cool 1st half breakdown in ESPN’s new studio from EJ Manuel & Sam Acho, with Alyssa Lang.
A great note on screen: Memphis’ 4 1st half turnovers were their most in any half since 2010.
Memphis’ shocking -0.39 EPA/play through 3 quarters is bottom percentile.
5 takeaways tonight after 1 through 5 games is the difference.
Jaylin Lucas was pumped to find the end zone for his 2nd time in a Tulane uniform, with the first being his 80-yd run vs South Alabama.
The 39-yard touchdown against Army was his first receiving touchdown since he was at Indiana, when he caught one at #2 Michigan.
Celebration:
It was a fun Tulane fan section in West Point last weekend! Really enjoyed cheering on the Green 🌊 with lots of other alumni.
In a tie game with ~9 minutes remaining, TJ Smith had an electric kick return of 58 yards. That was his 2nd return of 50+ yards with TU (62 @ Temple):
A helluva hullabaloo in West Point!
Tulane up 10-7 with 3 minutes remaining in the 3rd quarter.
Fat Hill had 3 big catches to lead the Wave🌊 xitter.gq/ipopStats/status/21089…
