Re: Leading the way through the new age of College Football {--
  Turnovers kill Memphis cause game to be blowout It's hard to believe that the Tigers were leading at the half by 4 points. Yet it was a tale of two halves, the Tigers absolutely fell flat in the second half. The Green Wave hopped out quickly with a pair of touchdowns spread only by thirty seconds. The rout was on and as the turnovers piled on it only grew worse. The Tigers found themslves up early in the game on a deep pass to Byrd who dragged his feet in the corner of the end zone getting the touchdown call giving them a 0-7 lead. Late in the quarter, the Green Wave hit a field goal still losing 3-7. On the following kick off the Tigers fumbled the ball in the end zone and Robertson of Tulane flew downfield diving on the ball in the end zone. The first turnover and the start of the Tigers collapse. The Tigers would manage to take the lead again in the second quarter on a fumble by quarterback Dan Ponder giving Memphis the lead into the half. The momentum was with Memphis but they would get careless. The defense broke down on a long Tulane drive that ended with JoJo Dobbs catching a slant and outrunning the defenders for a forty four yard score. Than a fumble on a sack later it would be Tulane ball yet again, and once again JoJo Dobbs would be the target for a 13 yard score. 24-14. The Green Wave struck hard. The fourth quarter wasn't better for Mempphis. After a touchdown rush by Orleans Darkwas, out came the offensive unit who threw a interceptionto Travis who would return the ball forty nine yards for yet another quick score. A fast Memphis drive would return the ball yet again to the Green Wave who would strike again, a 19 yard field goal. Another failed Memphis drive that ended with a fumble in the red zone that was brought back deep into Memphis territory would end with another Orleans Darkwas score. This game was ugly and the only thing salvaging it was the following kick return which Memphis brought back 96 yards for the score, but it did little to put aside the feeling of the beatdown they received and all the mistakes they had made. 48-21.

Re: Leading the way through the new age of College Football {--
 Green Wave outlast North Texas surviving at the Superdome (New Orleans, Louisiana) - Tulane was almost unable to hold off the upstart Mean Green squad, a team that has been more of a joke than anything lately and although their record isn't anything to be proud of, they are more than capable of competing as they have shown against Tulane. The game was back and forth with the Mean Green holding off the Tulane offensive attack in the first quarter while Jared Dodson turned in a touchdown pass on a twenty two yard pass to put them up by a single score. The big play offense of Tulane came out in the second quarter as the Green Wave scored on an Evan Nelson bomb to Ryan Grant to tie the game heading into the half. In the closing minute of the third quarter, Jared Dodson showed his true abilities taking snaps at the Wideout position turning a slant into a fourty three yard touchdown on the Green Wave defense, his second of the day (one passing one receiving). Orleans Darkwa would respond with a strong run off tackle that turned into a huge seventy-six yard run tying the game yet again, but North Texas answered fast. A good kick return and a strong offensive showing put seven more points on the board for North texas on a three yard run from Jimmerson to go ahead midway in the fourth. Tulane was helpless until the two minute warning, Eddie Nelson found Saunders on a slant and after knocking over a safety would turn it into a sixty-three yard touchdown score tying the game. Dodson would throw an interception giving the Wave a chance to win it before overtime. They would captalize with Evan Nelson finding speedster JoJo Dobbs on a deep slant that quickly turned ugly for the Mean Green turning into a eighty three yard score as time expired with Tulane defending their home field where they are undefeated thus far.

Re: Leading the way through the new age of College Football {--
 Wave crush the Owls (Boca Raton, Florida) - Mistake after mistake piled on for the Owls who seemed helpless against Tulane despite an early mistake that seemed to give them momentum. The lone turnover for the Wave coming off a pitch for the Wave that would be turned into a fumble from a miscommunication and scooped up by the Owls who brought it back the short yards needed for a score. After that it was just ugly. 42 unanswered points for the Wave. Barnett had back to back scores, the first coming right after the score from Florida Atlantic, a sixty four rush up the middle that completely caught the Owl offtrack and left them helpless to the big score. After an Owl drive, the Wave drove downfield slowly but steadily with Steve Barnett scoring again on a fourteen yard scamper putting them up 14-0. As time expired in the quarter, cornerback Ryan Travis scooped up a fumble in his own red zone bringing it back ninety-two yards for the score. 21-7. Twenty one more points in the secound quarter for the Wave. The first after a decent drive from the Wave that ended with Evan Nelson scrambling on third and goal and scoring on a six yard run. Orleans Darkwa would pick up the second touchdown, scoring on a goal line rush to put them ahead 35-7. When the Owls seemed to be picking up some momentum it would once again be Ryan Travis intercepting a pass and bringing it back fifty six yards for the score his second score of the day. Zaccario picked up a forty two yard field goal in the third quarter the only score from either team giving the Owls ten points but didn't stem the overwhelming momentum in favor of the Wave. Evan Nelson scoring his own touchdown pass of the day on a three yard pass on a half back screen to Orleans Darkwa putting them ahead 49-7, making this game ugly fast. Tulane is quickly proving they don't belong in the Sunbelt. Game Recap

Re: Leading the way through the new age of College Football {--
Blue Raiders keep it close but falter (New Orleans, Louisiana) - Tulane struggled it was pretty obvious that was true. The winless Blue Raiders were playing their hearts out and it was big plays that killed them in the Green Wave's 28-17 victory over the Raiders. The first score coming on the defensive end when Casey Blum (defensive end) scooped up a fumble running it back fifty-seven yards getting tackled into the end zone but Tulane was in control. The Raiders would respond moving the ball steadily before finding a sizable hole in the Wave defense, Kilgore tossing a screen to Calhoun who would follow his blockers for a thirty yard untouched score, tying the game. Evan Nelson would throw an interception on first down, with the Raiders turning it into a Wyatt thirty five yard field goal giving them the lead. Yet it wouldn't hold through the last thirty seconds of the quarter as "Primetime" JoJo Dobbs turned another huge play, streaking past his defender as Evan Nelson lobbed up a decent pass that would hit him in stride for a seventy two yard score. Both teams would be held scoreless in the second quarter ending the half at 14-10. The Blue Raiders fired out of the gates with Murphy throwing a beautiful streaking pass to Turner for an eighty-two yard score that will be remembered as one of the longest in NCAA history. The Tulane Green Wave moved downfield slowly managing to retake the lead when on a Play action fake, Orleans Darkwa would end up with the reception turning it into a twenty seven yard score 21-17 in favor of the Wave. Getting some breathing room, the Wave drove downfield again and with the final score of the game Evan Nelson would pick up the touchdown pass hitting Eddie Tatford for a six yard pass on a flat route. After a three and out, the Wave ran out the clock escaping New Orleans with win number six and bowl elgibility. Game Recap

Re: Leading the way through the new age of College Football {--
Warhawks can't cap off rally and Wave do just enough to hold onto the win (Monroe, Lousiana) - This win wasn't easy by any stretch of the imagination. It looked like it would be ugly, the opening kickoff brought back for a touchdown by Ryan Travis for his first of the year and after a three and out the Wave drove downfield yet again with Santos knocking through a tiny twenty six yard field goal making it a 10-0 game. The Warhawks wouldn't even respond on their following drive, going three and out yet again. This time the Wave would too and the ball came back to Louisiana-Monroe. Driving downfield, utilizing a passing attack that shredded the Wave secondary, Browning would hit Steed for a five yard score bringing it back within one possession. 10-7. Evan Nelson wouldn't be contained much longer and after trading three and outs, would open up the second quarter with a score on a twenty six yard pass to top receiver Ryan Grant making it a 17-7 game. A fumble later and the Wave would be in prime field position, setting up a four yard Orleans Darkwa scamper between guard and tackle extending the lead to 23-7 and looking like this would be getting out of hand. Santos missed the extra point giving some momentum to the Warhawks who would respond somewhat slowly moving downfield and stalling in Wave territory but deep enough that Andrews could convert a field goal from forty yards out ending the half at a score of 23-10. The third quarter did little to bring the Warhawks into this game as the teams would trade touchdowns early. Receiving the kickoff, the Wave drove downfield with a punishing rush attack mixed with an average Evan Nelson passing attack. Getting to the goal line, Orleans Darkwa punched the ball into the endzone running behind center extending the Tulane lead 30-10. After the kick off, the Warhawks would run the first two plays making it third and five and on third and five, Browning would see Russell open deep and launch a beautiful rocket of a pass and coming up with the catch Russell would outrun the secondary for a 30-17 score the third quarter ending with neither team scoring again. Tulane was in gear to close out the game, utilizing long snap counts and slow running offensive formations that are typically opposite of what Coach Tyler Starks preaches. But with hopes of closing ot the game they would kill a solid chunk of the quarter and manage to punch the ball into the end zone on a five yard pitch from Steve Barnett. On the following play, Browning would hook up with Travis Maye for his first of two scores. After a thee and out from the Wave Kolton Browning came out hooking up with Tavarese Maye for another huge score a seventy-two yard pass. The Wave would recover the onside kick, and manage to pick up the first down and with under a minute left, were able to hold off the Warhawks. Evan Nelson finished 12-23 for 205 yards and a lone touchdown compared to Kolton Browning who had completed 13 of 23 for almost a hundred more yards (303) and passing up four touchdowns with a single interception in a career day for the Junior quarterback. Orleans Darkwa once again pushed past 150 rushing yards rushing 29 times for 180 yards (6.2 YPC) in another solid day for the half back. The Wave will make the short trip to Lafayette next week to face the (2-3) Ragin' Cajuns. Game Recap

Re: Leading the way through the new age of College Football {--
Only thing Raging was the Waves (Lafayette, Lousiana) - This one seemed close early on with the Ragin' Cajuns staying close with a solid rushing attack that came against one of the best rushing defenses in the NCAA including a fifty yard scoring run by Spikes for the lone score by the Cajuns in the opening two minutes of the quarter. Primetime JoJo Dobbs opening up the day with a Bubble screen that with solid blocking and a spin would turn into a seventy-four touchdown pass as the defens elooked confused and hopeless. On the following drive, the Cajuns would start to drive downfield before Spikes broke out a huge rush between guard and tackle as the Ragin' Cajuns managed to hold off a typically staunt rush defense of the Wave. A fifty yard score. The passing attack continued to be effective for the Wave who drove downfield slower but still would score before even halfway through the first quarter on a twenty eight yard touchdown pass to Ryan Grant, neither team scoring again in the first despite having over half the quarter left. The Wave started to drive against the Cajuns and on the opening play of the second quarter it was Orleans Darkwa scoring on a pitch from four yards out for the only score of the second quarter as the Wave pulled out a defense unit playing similar to what they put up against the Southern Miss Golden Eagles. By the third quarter it was clear the offense which only made six first downs and picked up only 176 yards, thirty six on the ground (adjusted for sacks) despite Spikes picking up 61 yards off of eleven rushes for a 5.5 YPC average (one of the best against the Wave) the Cajuns just seemed intent to playing against an oddly overwhelming secondary that left the running game wide open. Brent Comardelle would pop up in the scoring column again after a short hiatus in recent weeks from scoring on a thirty one pass for the final touchdown of the day, the third for Evan Nelson as the Green Wave who was now up 28-7 and looking to close out the game against an overwhelmed Cajun squad that couldn't play to its strengths. The first safety for Coach Starks coming early in the fourth with the Cajuns dropping back to pass on their own goal line, a sack would turn into two points for the defense extending the lead into 30-7. The Cajuns would be unable to score or even put together a capable drive that gave the impression of scoring. The Wave would put up two more field goals before time expired one from thirty-one and the other from twenty-five as they hold onto the win. 36-7. Evan Nelson had a break out game earning player of the game honors going 20-35 for 339 yards and three touchdowns. He did toss up two interceptions yet manage to go unsacked in this game. Orleans Darkwa had an average game by his standards, solid none the less. Rushing twenty two times for eighty two yards and a single touchdown. The Wave will travel to Arkansas State in what could decide the Sunbelt throne. The Red Wolves are 2-0 in conference the last unbeaten beside the Wave. Preview: Ark State
