Scott Eliot is coming out as the QB, and I am dumbfounded. He did nothing in the first half, and Tulane has two young QBs who at least deserve a look. Eliot has to be on a short leash now
13:09- Tulane is punting from the Lions 47. Their drive was highlighted by a 25 yard run by Forte. He is now over 150 yards... it is sad to see such a great performance get wasted so far
12:05- Tulane forces a 3 & out. On third down Babin overthrows a pass out of bounds that goes right towards the Tulane players on the sideline and an offensive lineman catches the ball one handed no problem... if he can make that catch one-handed how are our WR dropping so many balls? Just something I thought you all should know. The Lions punt and now Tulane has good field position, starting on the Lions 43
11:05- Eliot just completely underthrew a receiver on 3 & 9 that would have been a first down which caused a 3 & out and the crowd has clearly had enough of him. I dont want to keep on talking about how terrible Eliot is playing, but that was the loudest this Tulane crowd has been all game, cheer or boo. Looks like Scelfo may be coming in. He has started warming up on the sidelines.
8:26- Tulane defense comes up huge again, forcing another 3 & out which was highlighted by an 8 yard loss on a sack to make it fourth and 24. Now Tulane has great field position again, which was set up by this defense, and are starting on the Lions 43. Scelfo has entered the game at QB for Eliot. I think i have already made my opinion clear, but about time
7:25- Matt Forte just took the ball down the whole 43 yards. Tulane TD. This is a superman like performance by him. First he runs for 7 yards, then gets 15 yards tacked on to that for a late hit. He follows that up with a 17 yard rush, followed by a 1 yard run then a 3 yard TD. Simply unstoppable. I can't even count the number of defenders he made miss and tackles he broke on that drive alone. Outstanding. Already, Forte has 23 carries for 179 yards and 3 touchdowns. 21-20 Tulane
5:39- Another sack by the Tulane defense, forcing yet another 3 & out. That is the fourth sack of the game for the Green Wave. The D-line is playing a great game, stuffing the rush and getting pressure on the QB. If this pressure keeps up Babin won't get time to find his receivers downfield and they can cover for the secondary's mistakes
4:48- WOW. Forte had his best run of the game, bursting up the left sideline for a 44 yard run. He broke at least two tackles and dodged a few others, before using his pure sped down the sideline to blow by the rest of the Lion defenders before being run out of bounds at the 4 yard line. He attempted to dive for the TD, but stepped out of bounds first. Forte has officially set a career high already in rushing yards for a game. Forte deservedly finishes off the drive with a 4 yard TD run. 28-20 Tulane.
3:32- Tulane defense looks strong again, playing like they were in the first quarter. Another punt is forced and now Tulane will start its drive from the 9 yard line. We will see if Tulane is able to maintain a longer drive now. All drives this half have started from about midfield
2:15- Sophomore Anthony Scelfo's first throw of the game may have been worse than any of Eliot's. He overthrew the WR by a good 10 yards and the pass was picked off at the Lion's 39. Horrendous throw, the WR had no chance at it. At this point I dont see why Tulane ever throws the ball. Which is why Moore, a QB with the ability to run, should be put in the game
The Quarter comes to an end with SE Lousiana driving. Outstanding quarter for Forte, but the fact that the Tulane QBs cant get ANYTHING going has to be troubling to Toledo. Great quarter defensively
