The Green Wave of GIFs: UNT @ Tulane

Tulane is facing the U. of North Texas (UNT) in today's Homecoming game. With the Green Wave at 3-2, the Mean Green present a big opportunity for Tulane to move forward toward bowl eligibility.

Here's how the game is breaking down.

Second Half: 

The half opened with a UNT comeback. The Mean Green produced a touchdown in the red zone, although it got messy after a near fumble.

The momentum swung heavily in the other direction after that. It started with Strozier generating the first blocked field goal leading to a touchdown in Tulane's history.


The Green Wave followed that up with a Lorenzo Doss "pick six" on the next drive. Those two huge plays made it a 21-7 game, giving the Green Wave a bit of a cushion.

First Half: 

The Green Wave defense definitely made every opportunity count in the first half. They provided consistent pressure on UNT and forced a couple chances for a takeaway. They came really close to another one to close out the half. Lorenzo Doss, in particular, continued a great 2013 campaign with an early pick.

Tulane ended up having a couple of chances in the second half to expand their lead. Cairo Santos missed a rare field goal. His 56 yarder finished left, but he got another shot after a Roughing the Kicker call. However, he also left the second attempt short and left.

Tulane's big issue in the first half was protecting Nick Montana. Montana, who held his own, maintained his presence in the pocket, and completed some great throws, saw a ton of pressure all day.
