 Draft Scout College Football Player News


  Jake Retzlaff threw for 332 yards and three touchdowns and Tulane held off No. 22 Memphis 38-32 on Friday night to stay in contention for the Group of Five's spot in the College Football Playoff and dash the Tigers' hopes. Tulane (7-2, 4-1 American Athletic Conference) survived a furious fourth-quarter comeback attempt as the Tigers fought back from a 21-point third-quarter deficit. Memphis (8-2, 4-2) was unable to convert on fourth-and-8 from the Tulane 35 with two minutes remaining, ending its chances along with its 11-game home winning streak. "I'm so proud of our guys for their resiliency," said Tulane coach Jon Sumrall. "It was so cool to see how our guys responded (after last week's loss at Texas-San Antonio). Bad things are going to happen sometimes. You just have to keep showing up."

Brendon Lewis passed for 317 yards and two touchdowns for the Tigers. Cortez Braham Jr. caught 11 passes for 113 yards. The Green Wave scored on their first play from scrimmage - a 65-yard pass from Retzlaff to Shazz Preston - and found the end zone on four of their next five possessions in the opening half. At the half, Retzlaff had completed 14 of 15 passes for 284 yards and three touchdowns. Preston had three catches for 85 yards and two scores. "I thought Jake played his tail off (in the first half)," Sumrall said. The Green Wave had 364 yards at the half, but were held to 93 in the second half. Despite the effort from the Memphis defense, it wasn't enough. "Clearly, we didn't to play to our standard in the first half," Memphis coach Ryan Silverfield said. "We gave up too many (explosive) plays. And, offensively, we had too many self-inflicted wounds. It's unlike us. Our guys will learn from this." - Tulane/AP College Football
