Jaylin Lucas Runs for 214 Yards, Tulane Scores Late in Fourth Quarter to Top South Alabama 28-24
Jaylin Lucas became the first Tulane player to rush for 200 yards at Yulman Stadium, and Kadin Semonza threw the late winning touchdown.
On Saturday night at Yulman Stadium, the Tulane Green Wave defeated the South Alabama Jaguars 28-24 in a competitive game where the lead changed hands on each of the last five touchdowns.
Following a season-opening loss to Duke, the Green Wave needed a strong performance; first-year coach Will Hall secured his first home victory with this bounce-back win.
Running back Jaylin Lucas spearheaded the offense with a career-high 214 yards on 11 carries, including an 80-yard touchdown run that regained a 21-17 lead for the home team.
With 1:17 remaining, quarterback Kadin Semonza connected with wide receiver Destyn Hill on a 14-yard touchdown pass to seal the victory, overcoming South Alabama quarterback Bishop Davenport's 296 passing yards.
The Green Wave travels to Kansas State next Saturday to continue their season, building on momentum from this narrow home victory.
