Thirteen key
plays in the Owls-Green Wave contest...
The first: Willie Garley gets
his first career quarterback sack, first quarter
The second: Chase
scrambles, has room, throws to Toren Dixon, incomplete -- fourth down
The third: Chase
scrambles, has room, throws to James Casey, complete -- first down
The fourth: Owls driving, Chase
to James Casey on the quick slant -- first down
The fifth: Chase to a leaping JD
in the corner of the end zone -- TOUCHDOWN, RICE; Owls up,
7-3
The sixth: Owls up 7-3, second
quarter -- Ja'Corey Shepherd gets the interception and return, and the Owls are sitting
pretty
The seventh: Tulane
punting out of own end zone, Ja'Corey gets the punt and a nice return, nullified by
questionable illegal block call
The eighth: Tulane 'swinging
gate' trick play sucks in Owls, big gainer for Greenies setting up key score
The ninth: Chase runs, slides
for first down -- but comes up short
The tenth: Knocking on the door, Chase
scrambles for the house, gets knocked down just short of goal, hops right up, throws for
score on next play
The eleventh: Chase threads to the needle to
JD in the end zone -- TOUCHDOWN, RICE
The twelfth: BK almost gets another
quick pick-six, which would have changed complexion of the game
The thirteenth: Pass ruled incomplete in the
end zone although Thor appears to have outwrestled his defender for the catch --
either that, or he's a helluva good actor, too
