Tulane vs. LSU 2nd Quarter

It is halftime here in the Superdome. The Wave have undoubtedly controlled the game thus far behind the defensive line, namely tackle Frank Morton and end Antonio Harris. Boos ring out from the LSU crowd as the teams leave the field, are they directed towards the Wave or could they be for the performance of Tigers in the first half?

0:11 Flynn passes into the end zone NEARLY picked off by Charles Harris. What a momentum change that would have been. Colt David is on to attempt a 37 yard field goal which he puts up and through. LSU retakes the lead.
