Jake Retzlaff and Zuberi Mobley each had a pair of touchdowns and Tulane held off South Alabama 33-31 on Saturday night. Mobley's 28-yard touchdown run stretched Tulane's lead to 33-17 with 10:00 left. Kentrel Bullock's 1-yard run ended a 75-drive that pulled South Alabama to 33-25 with 5:17 to play. Bishop Davenport later connected with Davin Voisin for a 26-yard touchdown pass for the Jaguars with 59 seconds left but the two-point conversion failed.

Mobley also had a 16-yard touchdown run in the first quarter for Tulane (2-0) and finished with 82 yards rushing on 11 carries. Retzlaff was 13-of-24 passing for 125 yards with one touchdown. He added 77 yards on the ground on 11 carries that included a 1-yard score. Davenport was 17-of-24 passing for 231 yards with two touchdown passes and ran for another. Bullock finished with 107 yards rushing on 24 carries. Voisin had eight catches and also had a 65-yard touchdown reception in the first quarter for South Alabama (0-2). - Tulane/AP College Football

Jake Retzlaff passed for a touchdown and added a 69-yard scoring run in his Tulane debut, and the Green Wave rolled to a 23-3 victory over Northwestern on Saturday. Retzlaff - who won 11 games at BYU last season, but transferred after learning he faced a suspension for violating his former school's honor code - accounted for 265 yards of offense. He passed for 152 yards and rushed for 113. His numbers could have been better if not for six drops by Tulane receivers, including two in the end zone during one early drive that ended with a short field goal.

New Northwestern quarterback Preston Stone, a transfer from SMU, threw a career-high four interceptions in his Wildcats debut, including on his first pass. He also lost a late fumble. Tulane converted the first three interceptions into 17 points - starting with Retzlaff's scoring pass to Justyn Reid in the back of the end zone - while building a 20-3 halftime lead. The game was Tulane's first at home against a team from the Big Ten Conference since 1955, when the Green Wave also defeated Northwestern. The mid-day, late-August kickoff this time forced the visitors from just north of Chicago to endure the type of uncomfortably hot, humid air for which south Louisiana is known during summer. Temperatures were in the mid-80s, but with the sun shining much of the game and humidity around 70%, the heat index was in the mid- to high-90s. - Tulane/AP College Football

Jake Retzlaff threw for a career-high 348 yards and three touchdowns to lead BYU to a 41-13 victory over Southern Illinois on Saturday night. Retzlaff earned his first career victory as the Cougars' starting quarterback after beating out South Florida transfer Gerry Bohanon for the job in fall camp. The redshirt junior went winless in four starts last season, but helped BYU rack up 527 total yards this time around. Chase Roberts led the Cougars with 108 yards on seven catches. BYU (1-0) has not lost to an opponent outside the FBS since 1960.

DJ Williams threw for 98 yards, while adding 121 yards and two touchdowns on the ground, to lead the Salukis. Southern Illinois (0-1) failed in its bid to defeat a third straight FBS opponent. Big plays led to a big first quarter for the Cougars. Retzlaff completed a pair of fourth-down passes to set up a 1-yard scoring plunge from Hinckley Ropati on BYU's opening drive. Then he capped off the Cougars' second drive with a 57-yard strike down the middle to a wide-open Jojo Phillips that gave BYU a 14-0 lead. Southern Illinois sliced the deficit to 14-6 when Williams broke a tackle and scored on a 4-yard keeper just before halftime. Williams connected with Keontez Lewis on a 43-yard dart to get into BYU territory and set up the touchdown. - AP College Football

2023 ALL-BIG TEN HONORABLE MENTION: ST Jaylin Lucas,...Even with teams kicking short or electing for out of the end zone, Jaylin Lucas was still the highest-rated kickoff return man in the FBS among specialists 25-or-more returns on the season. His 572 kickoff return yards led the Big Ten, was No. 5 among Power 5 returners and sat ranked No. 14 in the FBS. His 100-yard kickoff return against Purdue tied for the longest play in IU history and was one of 10 returns of 100 yards in the FBS during the 2023 season, the only 100-yard effort in the Big Ten. - Indiana Football

Pratt leads The American and ranks 10th nationally in pass efficiency (164.94) and enters the postseason with 2,168 passing yards and 21 touchdowns against only four interceptions - the fewest of any starting quarterback in The American. A four-year starter, Pratt has passed for 9,364 career yards and 89 touchdowns with 25 interceptions and has 27 career rushing touchdowns. - AAC Football

2023 BIG SOUTH-OVC DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE YEAR: Terrell Allen, DL, Sr., Tennessee State,...Allen, a finalist for the Buck Buchanan Award, led the FCS in sacks (1.32/game) and tackles for loss (2.5/game) during the season and ranked second nationally in forced fumbles (0.45/game). Overall the senior tallied 28.0 tackles for loss and 14.5 sacks in 11 games while also adding 65 tackles (44 solo), 10 quarterback hurries, a pass breakup and a fumble recovery. He led Tennessee State to its first winning season since 2017 and keyed a defense that was second in the Association in total defense (333.82 yards allowed per game) and third in scoring defense (24.7 points allowed per game). His best game of the season came against Lindenwood where he made 10 tackles, including an Association-record 6.5 for loss, and had 4.5 sacks while also forcing two fumbles in a 43-20 win. During a four-game stretch from Weeks 7-10, Allen recorded 18.5 TFL and 11.5 quarterback takedowns. - Big South-OVC Football Association

Assuming he stays healthy in his fourth year as a starter, he will shatter the school records for career touchdown passes (he needs four to tie Patrick Ramsey's 72 ) and yards passing (he needs 2,008 to match Ramsey). "Any time there is any level of success, some bigger schools will come at you and offer you some things," Pratt said. "You think the grass is always greener at other places, but just to be able to come back here with this staff again with my guys for one more year, it was definitely in my best interest to stay here with the people I know and the place where I'm comfortable." Continuity was a huge factor. After playing for a different offensive coordinator in each of his seven years of high school and college football, Pratt jumped at the chance to work with Slade Nagle again.

Technically, Nagle was not the Wave's offensive coordinator last season, but he called the plays and served as de facto coordinator until getting the job officially before spring drills. "We played to (Pratt's) strengths some times, and his strengths are he likes to run and he likes to play physical," Nagle said. "It's his natural ability, so hopefully we can keep him healthy throughout the year." If Pratt excelled while hurt down the stretch, imagine what he can do when his foot feels 100 percent. He weighed in at a career-high 225 pounds before spring practice, giving him extra confidence in his durability. "This is the healthiest I've ever felt," he said. "I'm a lot stronger than I've ever been. My body feels a lot better. I'm moving really well, so I will be able to be more physical, run faster and extend plays this year." - New Orleans Times Picayune

02/02/23 - Yulkeith Brown, Sr/2025, Tulane, 5-10, 167 (DS#143 WR) + More +

Tulane posted its spring football roster this week-a 71-scholarship-player list that includes eight newcomers from the transfer portal, two earlier arrivals from the 2023 freshman class and leaves no room for any pickups when the late signing period begins Wednesday. A year after having phenomenal success in the portal on the way to a breakthrough 12-2 season, the Green Wave hopes to take the same route as it defends its first conference title since 1998. The latest additions are former Texas A&M wide receiver Yulkeith Brown, former South Florida tight end Chris Carter and former Marshall safety Andre Sam, who join offensive lineman Cameron Wire (LSU), linebacker Tyler Grubbs (Lousiana Tech), safeties AJ Hampton (Northwestern) and Darius Swanson (Nebraska-Kearney) and wide receiver Dontae Fleming (UL).

Brown, a 4-star prospect who was ranked the No. 176 recruit in the nation by Rivals.com out of Miami Central High in 2021, could bolster a wide receiver group that loses Shae Wyatt and Duece Watts, a duo that accounted for 68 catches and 15 touchdowns. As was the case with many of Texas A&M's high-profile signees, Brown made little impact in two years with the Aggies (zero receptions in 2021; six this season). - New Orleans Times Picayune

Michael Pratt eased plenty of minds when he announced last week he would return to Tulane for his fourth year. Plenty of power five schools would have loved to have him as a starter next season. Always an outstanding leader, he has matured into an outstanding quarterback, accounting for 15 touchdowns rushing and passing in three of his last four games. In the other one, he went 3 for 3 for 71 yards and the winning score immediately after Cincinnati took its first and only lead in the fourth quarter. - New Orleans Times Picayune

01/02/23 - *Tyjae Spears, rJr/2023, Tulane, 5-10, 201 (DS#4 RB) + More +

Tulane tight end Alex Bauman caught a 6-yard touchdown from Michael Pratt with 9 seconds left to cap a frantic finish by the 14th-ranked Green Wave in a 46-45 win over Heisman Trophy winner Caleb Williams and No. 8 Southern California in the Cotton Bowl on Monday. Bauman's contested catch, with linebacker Eric Gentry draped over him, was initially ruled an incompletion, but a replay review showed the ball never touched the ground as the players rolled over in the end zone. The Green Wave scored 16 points in the final 4:07, the game-winning touchdown coming after they got the ball back following a safety. "I might have had a heart attack," Tulane coach Willie Fritz said moments after the game ended. Williams was 37-for-52 passing for 462 yards and a Cotton Bowl-record five touchdowns, exactly one month after the quarterback suffered a hamstring injury in USC's loss to Utah in the Pac-12 championship game that kept the Trojans from making the four-team College Football Playoff.

Tyjae Spears ran for 205 yards and his career-best fourth touchdown started the final scoring surge for the American Athletic Conference champion Green Wave (12-2), who completed an FBS-record 10-win turnaround around after going 2-10 last season. They were in the New Year's Six game as the highest-ranked Group of Five team. After Spears' 4-yard TD with 4:07 left, the Green Wave opted to kick deep instead of trying an onside kick. Mario Williams signaled for a fair catch, but fumbled the ball out of bounds at the 1. Two plays later, defensive tackle Patrick Jenkins met Austin Jones in the end zone and smothered him for a safety. Pratt completed only 8 of 17 passes for 234 yards, but had two 24-yard completions on that final drive after the safety. The first one to Bauman converted a fourth-and-10, and Deuce Watts held on despite a crushing hit from a defender that left both of them on the ground after a 24-yard gain to the 6 with 18 seconds left. After Williams followed coach Lincoln Riley from Oklahoma, the Trojans (11-3) matched the biggest turnaround in school history despite the coach's first loss in six games at AT&T Stadium. It was a seven-win improvement over last season's 4-8 record before Riley and Williams arrived on the West Coast. - Tulane/AP College Football

12/22/22 - Sincere Haynesworth, rSr/2024, Tulane, 6-1, 300 (DS#24 C) + More +

Tulane quarterback Michael Pratt and center Sincere Haynesworth said on a podcast Tuesday night they were returning to the team in 2023, ending recent speculation regarding Pratt and reversing a senior night decision in Haynesworth's case. Pratt, a third-year player who was named second-team All-American Athletic Conference, never said a word about intending to leave after guiding the Green Wave to the league championship. Still, rumors persisted he would seek an NIL deal at a Power Five conference school-possibly Florida in his home state-and play somewhere else as a senior after 14th-ranked Tulane (11-2) faces No. 10 USC (11-2) in the Cotton Bowl on Jan. 2.

Haynesworth, a first-team All-AAC pick and two-year co-captain just like Pratt, has started 36 consecutive games from 2020 to 2022 after making 11 appearances with five starts as a freshman in 2019. He participated in senior night ceremonies before Tulane's final regular-season home game against SMU on Nov. 17-leading everyone to believe he would apply for the NFL draft-but he was eligible for another season due to the free COVID year the NCAA granted all players in 2020. - New Orleans Times Picayune

Allen finished the year with 36 tackles (20 solo and 16 assists), while leading the team in tackles for loss (12.0), and finishing tied-in sacks with 4.5. He also swatted down two passes and had seven quarterback hurries. Allen dominated UTM's offensive line, collecting nine tackles, 4.5 tackles for loss, and one sack.
