Both teams have long and great drives in the first quarter. Drew Mestemaker to Trevor Williams III for the Mean Green touchdown and then a Jake Retzlaff rushing touchdown.

Tulane gets 17 points in the second quarter. Truly the quarter that you knew that Tulane won this game. Jake Retzlaff gets a second rushing touchdown, and Jamauri McClure gets a rushing touchdown.

A third-quarter pick six by Chris Rodgers was the absolute dagger. Tulane went up 31-7 at that point. A passing touchdown from Mestemaker to Miles Coleman and a rushing touchdown from Ashton Gray shrunk the lead to 10, but it was too late.

Jon Sumrall gets Tulane an American Conference Championship Title and gets a College Football Playoff spot before he heads to Florida. Congrats to Sumrall and the Green Wave on the conference championship.
