Former LSU QB Justin McMillan makes 'big-time' throw in first Tulane action

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- When Justin McMillan first came to Tulane, coach Willie Fritz figured the former LSU quarterback would need a few weeks before he could be ready to play in a game.

That moment came Saturday (Sept. 22) at Ohio State, but not in the way most would have expected.

Starting quarterback Jonathan Banks was ordered to leave the game for at least one play when his helmet came off at the end of a 10-yard run early in the second half. McMillan came onto the field and, after an Ohio State timeout, completed quick pass to Darnell Mooney on a slant for 10 yards and a first down.
