And no, it had nothing to do with the 88-degree heat or temperatures above 120 degrees on the sun-drenched Cajun Field.
The Green Wave scored two touchdowns without UL’s defense on the field and the Ragin’ Cajuns’ offense just didn’t have enough in the tank to counterpunch. The result was a 41-33 road victory for the Green Wave on Saturday in the 11 a.m.
ESPNU showdown. Trailing by eight points each time, the Cajuns’ final two drives were halted largely because of intentional grounding calls on each drive. The loss erased the fact UL had more first downs 22-18 and more total yards 421-355, but two unplanned touchdowns and 2-for-9 conversions on third down allowed the Green Wave (2-2) to escape.
Tulane running back Makhi Hughes powered the Wave’s 272-yard rushing effort with 166 yards and one score on 23 carries. UL’s defense limited quarterback Darian Mensah to 11-of-17 passing for 83 yards and one score. The Cajuns got 103 yards rushing from redshirt freshman running back Bill Davis on nine carries.
Quarterback Ben Wooldridge was 19-of-34 passing for 238 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions. Tight end Terrance Carter led the targets with four receptions for 79 yards and a score. Lance LeGendre had three grabs for 57 yards.
