Jon Sumrall's team moves to 7-2 overall on the season
Tulane breezed to their seventh win of the season on Halloween night, taking down Charlotte 34-3 in North Carolina.
Their first drive lasted a whopping 20 plays and ten minutes, 58 seconds. After moving the ball 80 yards, Tulane settled for a field goal. On their third possession, the Green Wave travelled 76 yards in 14 plays, taking another 5:46 off the clock, and adding a touchdown. Tulane looked as if they would take a 10-0 lead into halftime, but the Green Wave gifted Charlotte two big penalties to get them inside the ten-yard line inside the final minute. That turned into a Charlotte field goal to make it 10-3 at the break.As noted by the time-of-possession comparison, Tulane's defense got off the field in a hurry on most possessions. Charlotte only converted one third down out of nine on the day and did not allow any fourth down conversions on three attempts.
Hughes also went over the 1,000-yard mark on the season, making him the third Tulane running back to run for 1,000 yards twice in a career.
