The SMU Mustangs downed the Tulane Green Wave 49-21 on Senior Night at Ford Stadium.
The game got off to a slow start as both teams traded punts. A short punt and holding penalty by SMU set the Green Wave up on the Mustangs’ 24-yard line for their second possession. A three-and-out led to a field goal attempt that was blocked by Zach Wood and returned for an SMU touchdown by R.C. Cox.
Tulane punted it back to SMU after one first down on the next possession. The Mustangs mounted a 95-yard drive capped off by a 13-yard touchdown run by quarterback Matt Davis, increasing their lead to 14.
