The Tulane Green Wave lined up for a 36-yard field goal with less than a minute to play, trailing by just a single point to the Cincinnati Bearcats. It looked pretty glum. UC appeared to be on its way to another heartbreaking loss. But Merek Glover's kick went wide left and the Bearcats ran out the clock to escape with a 17-16 win in New Orleans.
Gerrid Doaks had a huge day, running for 149 yards on 17 carries, including a 57-yard scamper during the Bearcats’ drive to run out the clock.
