It was a game that Tulane had to have to keep its bowl hopes alive, and wide receiver Terren Encalade stepped up.
The redshirt junior finished with 186 yards and touchdown on eight receptions as Tulane hung on for a 20-17 win over American Conference foe Houston before a crowd of 19,026 during senior day at Yulman Stadium Saturday.
"I just wanted to win," Encalade said. "I wanted to send those seniors out with a win. That's all that matters. It feels good. We had great execution and came out and made plays. We had to get this win.
