How it Happened—The game was pushed back two hours to account for the Green Wave's late arrival in Houston after bussing down I-10 after their flight was grounded during Friday's disruption of flights across the country. Both teams hit the field with their offenses clicking, scoring on their first two possessions after long drives. Rice took the opening kickoff and drove to the Tulane nine before settling for Tommy Baaucherio's fifth field goal of the season. Tulane responded with a 15-play, 58-yard drive for a tying field goal. Koa Akui forced the Green Wave to settle for the three, dropping quarterback Dagan Bruno for a four-yard loss on third and three.
